Agreed----Clean carburetors / jets are very important on a 2 stroke.-----Clean them and post the results here.

Thanks racerone.
I always post back.
It's frustrating reading threads where someone asks for help and then disappears. Rude.

 

[Berdink]

I was planning on just blowing out every nook, cranny, orifice, jet, with spray carb cleaner.
.
Should I dip it in my Berryman's?
Doesn't Berryman's harm the outside finish on the carburetors?
.
The only reason I ask is I saw a guy on YouTube (Brandon's Garage) do it. But his were pretty dirty.

 

[Berdink]

No, I will not be using Berrymans. It supposedly strips the finish.

Okay

Okay, you're of an older generation. Milk Bottle?
I remember the Milk Man and those cold glass bottles in that metal carrier and left on the porch.

Looking at it again, maybe it looks like a Decanter for Wine...

Ah yes , A nice chianti and some farver beans ?..

 

[Berdink]

Well, I feel better seeing the carbs need help.
.
Does these green colors mean water sat in the bowls for awhile?

.
The motor was laying on its side when I first got there, and then we hoisted it up and put it on stand to run it.

Those Tubes are Brass, and Brass is an Alloy containing Copper, which when oxidized by water, creates the Green Oxide. High Humidity will also cause that.

 

[Berdink]

It's interesting one side is dark goopy and the other side is dry green corroded. I'm guessing it was sitting on that one side for some time.

Where do you guys recommend I buy under the cowl fuel line by the foot?
