Go to your local NAPA store and pick up a can of Sea Foam and dump the whole
can in the tank. It might take a couple of tanks to clean out the really
dirty systems. It'll keep your fuel system happy, and once you've cleaned
the system out, a few ounces every other tank will keep it clean.

Can anyone recommend a good carb cleaner fuel additive that works? I try
to run out all my fuel after use (with stabil in it) but I would like to
know if there is an additive that can remove the gum from the idle circuit
and float needle that eventually builds up. I have a 1972 50hp Johnson and
I have rebuilt the 2 carbs but it is starting to get a little gunked up
again. It's been 4 years since the rebuild. It is a freshwater Northern
boat that sits for the winter. One of the 2 float needles seems to stick
and free up now and then. Unfortunately it only gets used about 25 hours
per year.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
