Default Carb cleaner fuel additive that works?

They are all about the same. Their cleaning power is limited because
anything that's stronger would damage rubber and some plastics. As long
as they work - fine.
When they stop working (too much stuff in the carbs), the carbs have to
be pulled off, washed and/or rebuilt. I used acetone, it's a very good
solvent for the job. All rubber and acetone-sensitive plastic parts, if
any, should be removed to avoid damage (better solvents do exist, but
they are not as easily available).

To prevent this buildup during winter storage use Evinrude Johnson 2+4
instead of stabil.


2+4 is the exact same composition as Stabil.

Other than specifically cleaning the lines, Stabil should be
sufficient.
