Born an I-6, spent the teenage, 20 and 30 years as a 302, but at 40 will reach full potential as a 351C.
I am really looking for some guidance here. I cannot say I have ever cured any automotive problem by spraying anything into my carburetor. I cannot say I have ever taken a carburetor apart(for the heck of it) and found any component clogged.
I was just wondering if anyone was ever able to cure a problem with their car by spraying your favorite product into your carburetor?
What problem did it cure? Do you have a before/after photo of what it did?
What EXACTLY are we trying to get clean, expecially since we have limited access to nothing but exposed parts?
I have searched for before and after photos to see exactly what a carb cleaner spray can do to critical components, and although the sides look much nicer, and the throttle plates are shinier, that isn't really the purpose, is it?
Shouldn't I look for those tiny orifices and see if they show signs of clogging, like my bathroom or kitchen faucet?
Wouldn't I be better off putting something directly into the fuel bowl and running it through?
