[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4287421, member: 15054"] I was wishing the soaking I gave that pontoon boat engine would clean stuff from the carbs. Soaking involved starting it on fresh 2 stroke mix and letting it run ..It would not idle unless I kept choking it. But I got gas through it and in the bowls. A few weeks of soaking and then firing it back up did NOTHING. I found hard black crud in the bottom of the fuel bowls and the main jets .072" were completely clogged with hard black crud. Emulsion tubes clogged with hard and some gooey black crud. Air passages clogged in some places. 2.5 hours of hand cleaning and poking holes clean with wire and torch tip cleaners and spraying mineral spirits through everything and they are now clean. Waiting on a gasket set for them so i can finish up the job. I bet it runs very well when I get these back on as they cleaned up really nice. [/QUOTE]
