That was what you call "varnish", what's left of old gas when it sits for a very extended time and the volatile components evaporate, leaving that stuff behind.

This is the very reason that people are supposed to use stabilizers and cleaners on a consistent basis. If you drive through every tank of gas in a week or two, that's different. But if your bike sits for any period of time, you need some other stuff in the tank. |
