- ha ha 'decarburizing' is easy..... just remove 4 nuts and they'll fall off! ... no seriously... I believe you meant 'decarbonize'.... get the carbon deposits off the inerds of the engine combustion c

- The water trick is what I watched my mechanic friend do in the first weeks I owned Bev- except it wasn't sprinkled in- we actually poured over 2 litres (half gallon) through the carb throat over the

- One of the 'tricks' we used back in the reciprocating powerplant days was to use hydraulic fluid down the carb(s) throat while at 75%. Nasty stuff, atomized cherry juice. Cleans the entire fuel path
