And put some b12 chemtool in the tank. Or some K100. One year we used stabil, first time the carb ever gummed up.

I've had better success using Seafoam as a way to keep finicky carburetors running smoothly. Others have touted it as a good soaking solution for removing varnish buildup from carburetor jets and other components. Last edited by Texas Dan; 12/16/19 03:24 AM.

So go ahead and pay for that ethanol free gas and then add it back!

It does a great job cleaning jets and injectors. I use Stabil for storage. Dalroo Deep in the Heart of Texas How about that Brandon!

Leaving ethanol in your fuel lines and carb is not good. I have better luck leaving gas in the bowl and using either ethanol free (preferred) or Stabil. Seems like when that needle dries out in the winter you will be replacing it in the spring. Ethanol is real hard on the aquariums lines they use on 2 cycle equipment. Make sure you use ethanol free or replace the lines with ones rated for ethanol. 2017 Tundra 5.7 CM 4x4 2006 Champion 2200 Bay Boat
