Remember how we blew the crud out of our carburetors on a straightaway with no cops around? No cost maintenance, and some fun.
How do you "blow the crud out of a carburetor" by driving fast?
Fun indeed! Back in the 70's I was on a country road doing about 90 mph in my Ford Fairlane. Clearing out the carbon deposits. I stopped on the side of the road, popped the hood and was adjusting the carb.
Along comes a cop who had clocked me! He understood what I was doing, told me I probably also need to set the timing, wished me luck and left. No ticket!

Carburetors - Yeah Sure....
I hear the kids - “What’s a carburetor?”
Germany, Gold Wing motorcycle, autobahn, about 30-40 minutes at 100MPH. Quick, easy, fun tune-up.
My father used to call that “blowing out the carbon”. A couple of times a year he’d say, “c’mon son, let’s take her up on the highway and blow out the carbon.”
