I also use Marvel Mystery oil in my carbs. I also add a small amount
to my tank every so often and it seems to keep both my grouse jets
and float valves (I have multiple cars) from sticking. While the
contents are a mystery, hence the name, the product was designed to
clean out the jets of carbs during WWI when gas had high lead
content. They recommend 4 oz per ten gal of gas with your fill up.
I guess it is supposed to reduce varnish from the gas.
