| Why doesn't the gas running through the carb keep it clean? What do various carb cleaners do that gas doesn't? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Gas though a solvent is full of additives that coat the carb's internals and eventually cause problems. The mechanic in a can cuts and dissolves the varnish. |
|
| Some but not all components of gasoline are volatile and simply evaporate away. Those that don't remain as a composite goo we call varnish. It takes a strong solvent to dissolve that varnish and allow it to be washed away. |

| As long as the Fuel is flowing there is not an Issue ! Just like Water in a Pond without flow , the Impurities Settle out and cause restriction to Normal Flow ! Note: The Solution of Pollution is Dillution...Thus Fuel Additives Bloke ! P.S. Use It or Lose It ! As We Say North of the Border ! :). |
