[QUOTE="longjohn119, post: 143326, member: 2826"] That's a sign the gasoline has broken down and separated into it's different components, probably has a lot of moisture in it too. If you are going to try to clean the carbs use the Deep Creep, Sea Foam is really for decarbing the cylinders and pistons and you literally have to drown the motor with it. As an additive it will help keep a decarbed motor clean and keeping a clean fuel system clean but it doesn't really do much for getting a carboned up motor clean or cleaning a dirty carb.. Best thing would be to clean and rebuild the carb(s) and fuel pump, replace the fuel lines inside and outside the motor and rinse out the gas tank good. It will save you a lot of grief in the end and would probably be cheaper in the long run than a series of half fixes. It's even more important on a motor that doesn't have oil injection because your fuel system is also your main lubrication system, if you are running lean on mixture you are also running lean on oil to lubricate the motor causing premature wear and possibly taking out a cylinder.
