I'm doing MY first change of the hydraulic oil (dealer did the 50-hour). Before so many people posted they used brake cleaner to clean their hydraulic suction screens, I bought some fuel injector cleaner. OK to use that, do ya think?

Thanks.

I used diesel. There really wasn't a whole lot to clean off. Just a few metal chips that I needed to rinse off, no sludge or any other type of residue.

Carb cleaner and brake cleaner are very similar. Brake cleaner is a little nastier and will leave less residue.

Either one is great. I buy the carb cleaner 6 at a time from walmart. I love the stuff and anything that can withstand brake cleaner can withstand carb cleaner.

The GC2300 manual suggests Kerosene as an option. As I have this around, I used it. Seems to work well.
