My old motorbike was running a bit rough and someone suggested this carb cleaner stuff, you spray it in the air box while running and it seems to have cleaned an issue I was having.

My 90 Cooper sometimes runs a bit rough, but after a good run gets better, and I wondered if using this on the car might have similar effect and wanted to know anyone had tried it?

It won't fix your problem. I don't really think spraying it in the intake would ever really fix anything on any carb. If the carb needs cleaning it needs to come apart.

We used to do it with Redex and brake fluid.

Im 100% with you on this, of course, a good clean is the best things, but this stuff seems to do something!  ;D
