Thanks for the tip on the MIB. I’ve been putting Sea Foam in the fuel for all of my motors this year since finding a clogged pump jet on the truck’s 4 bbl carb this spring. Just rebuilt that carb about three years ago but I don’t drive the truck much. Nasty goo in there.
Sea Foam won’t fix alcohol problems though so I’d better use some Ethanol Shield for the long winter’s sleep for truck and chain saw.
I had used B-12 Chemtool (acetone) and also SeaFoam in the generator to absolutely no avail.
Was ready to buy another carb and then had MIB recommended to me.
I’ve never had anything work like this for me.
I also have a 1969 Arians snow blower with an ‘84 Tecumseh that would blow oil for the first 45 minutes of use and occasionally thereafter. 2 tanks treated with MIB stopped it. Couldn’t believe it. I’m figuring the ring grooves had gunk in them and it cleaned them out after two tankful’s.
I also treat chainsaw fuel with it and the saws usually run much better. Also use it in farting outboards to clean them out.
I don’t know what is in it but it doesn’t seem like a solvent in my sense of the word but it usually works.
