Remember how we blew the crud out of our carburetors

How do you "blow the crud out of a carburetor" by driving fast?

Yes...that was the reasoning. “We need to blow out the carburetor.”

By pushing more fuel than usual through the passages and nozzles.

Like blowing a clog out of a garden hose by turning the tap on full blast.

A lot cheaper when fuel was less than a buck a gallon...

That’s called an “Italian tune-up”, but it’s mostly for getting rid of carbon buildup.

Old saying...

“A redline a day keeps the carbon away”
