Another old trick is to feed ice water (as cold as you can get it) through
the carb. Keep it on a fast idle and pour about a quart in as fast as it
will take it and keep running. Rack the throttle a couple of times and you
simply won't believe what comes out! I'm told that the thermal shock breaks
the carbon loose. Whatever the explanation, it certainly works.
