Thanks--yeah, I am very happy I didn't have to take that damndable carb off again. And color me educated, becasue I had never seen Seafoam before, but It worked majic on this little Mikuni. I can't believe how much it affected it. It was explined that the problem was probably not grit or something visible like old gas turned to varnish, but rather scale that turns invisible when dry, but goes into suspension in the gas when it is wet, and blocks the tiny jet openings. I don't know, but I am glad it is healthy again. The more I ride it, the better it seems to get. I can see how if you used this stuff once or twice a year, you would never get enough build-up to NEED perchloroethylene or ethylbenzene (carb/choke cleaner). Again, thanks for all the help getting it going!
