Re: water trick

We used to take a pint of tranny flluid and pour it down the throat of the carb, with the idle being held open to keep them otor running. Then as the container was just about used up, let it drown the motor out and kill it. Let this soak for a short period, so that it will loosen any carbon residue and then start the engine and drive it until ths moke clears out of the engine. It appeared to make a difference in the motor's operation. We called it a "Hydraulic Valve Job".

I have also seen brake fluid dumped down the carb in the same fashion
