[SEL] Rotten gas

[Rex Hinz]

   I have always used a product called " Sea Foam " you put it in the gas 
tank and get the engine running and if you can keep it running long enough 
it eats the varnish away , be careful of the alcohol as it sometimes draws 
moisture in humid conditions and will corrode the inside of the carb if its 
made of aluminum and sits too long , we use Sea Foam  in our boat motors 
once a year after  winter storage . most auto parts stores carry it .
