You have to buy some Sea Foam, run some in the gas tank, then run some through a vaccum line.. Supposably it smokes like heck and you should do it far away from your neighbors.

There is NO way I know of. You can dribble water into the carb with the RPMs at about 2000 RPMs that will clean carbon out of the C.C. valves etc. Water injection is also an option.

it's similiar to fuel injection but at a slower rate in which the water hits the cylinders at the opposite times that fuel is getting in there and it heats up to break up what ever is sitting around in there.
