   I find that most any fuel system cleaner,injector cleaner, Stabilizer 
,etc , is usually best described and used as a maintenance and storage 
product. This problem is a Big issue on carbureted motorcycles for that 
same issue your having and cleaners never work in the fuel system to Fix 
a problem. Unless your pilots are not that bad ,who knows if it will 
help your problem, so Good luck  ...

                  Hi ,<br>
                  Since I am very familiar with these carbs and problems
                associated ,the <br>
                # 1 Reason for problems on stored cars and motorcycles
                with carbs is <br>
                dirty Pilot jets and that circuit of the carbs. I have
                also seen some <br>
                issues with the Mikunies<br>
                on some used carbs that had problems in Pilot circuits
                that could not be <br>
                easily fixed ,or with normal chemical dipping and
                cleaning . Somebody <br>
                like myself that knows how to rebuild/restore these cars
                should know <br>
                this info,but many I have known over the years have gone
                on or have <br>
                passed away without passing on this knowledge .I'm glad
                I can still <br>
                provide this service to my customers ....<br>

                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Any suggestions on what would cause a Solex (late
                style with only a couple thousand miles on them) to run
                fine on full choke, but be unable to stay running with
                the choke off?? I figure something may be blocked.? For
                reasons beyond my control the car received almost no use
                for a couple years.? When started occasionally it ran
                fine until this month. ?I siphoned out the old fuel and
                refilled with new gas plus some dry gas to be sure. I
                blew out the fuel line, replaced the fuel filter, and
                removed the carbs and cleaned the jets, etc.? The one
                thing I didn?t remove is the float bowl cover because it
                was stuck and I didn?t want to ruin the gaskets unless I
                had replacements in hand.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; The engine has only a few thousand miles on a
                complete rebuild.?<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.<br>
                &gt;<br>

                &gt; Daniel<br>
                &gt; Todd Walrich was a great friend of mine. Todd and I
                raced together for years and shared a very similar
                philosophy on both business and life.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; With Todd's passing and the blessing of his wife
                Suzie FutoFab acquired the business assets of Wolf Creek
                Racing and is carrying on with the sale and service of
                Mikuni PHH carburetor parts.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; The transaction occurred late last Fall. We have
                finally sorted thru the inventory to the point where we
                now have a good record of the parts we have on hand and
                we are just starting to offer carburetor service work.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; As for your run problems, there is definitely a
                blockage that is not letting enough fuel thru to keep
                the car running without the choke. With today's fuel,
                the problem comes from the ethanol. Even a few months
                sitting allows it to raise havoc with fuel systems
                especially carburetors. Any seasonal use gasoline engine
                should be using a fuel stabilizer.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; One of our local motorcycle dealers has been an
                advocate for Star Tron fuel stabilizer. It supposedly
                contains an enzyme that eats the ethanol. They swear by
                it for motorcycles. The service manager told me they he
                had a customer with run problems after winter storage of
                his EFI Honda motorcycle. After 2-3 fill-ups with the
                Star Tron additive in the gas it cleared up his run
                problems without any other service being needed.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Give that a try and see if it helps.<br>
                &gt; And if you want to get into the carbs, we have
                complete rebuild kits in stock for late model PHH Mikuni
                carbs as well as some parts for the earlier carbs. If we
                can be of any service to you please feel free to contact
                us.<br>

                thousand miles<br>
                &gt; on them) to run fine on full choke, but be unable
                to stay<br>
                &gt; running with the choke off?? I figure something may
                be<br>
                &gt; blocked.? For reasons beyond my control the car<br>
                &gt; received almost no use for a couple years.? When<br>

                to<br>
                &gt; ruin the gaskets unless I had replacements in
                hand.The engine has only a few<br>
                &gt; thousand miles on a complete rebuild.? Any
