Never saw this TC-W3 stuff. Is it the same as Sea Foam or Mercury's Quick
Clean?
Who sells it?

Thanks Larry for the lecture. Most of what you say makes sense. I
think the best
preventative is to remove the fuel line from the engine and run the
engine dry after
every use. I was thinking about all the trouble of opening the carb
drain plug, but that would spill a lot of fuel in the water and is
probably more work. So all this stuff
about Stabil keeping the gas from breaking down is advertising hype?



Naw, not that much trouble. Just run it dry and when the engine starts
to balk, pull the choke to full and turn the tiller from side to side to
splash what's left in the bowl until it finally stalls from fuel
starvation. The tiny bit that's left won't clog it for years.

If you have a 4-stroke, I've tried a little TC-W3, maybe a cupful in 6
gallons, just a splash....and the Nissan 4-stroker quit cloggin the jets,
too. Cap'n Geoffrey really clogged it up before I figured out what is
going on.

It's unfortunate these little motors don't have DIAPHRAM carbs on them
like a jetski does. A diaphram carb has no float bowl and is sealed
where the gas is so there is no evaporation problem. Your weedeater or
chainsaw has them, too. Too bad they all have cheap plastic gas tanks
that leak.
