So like wise, I would like to learn how you guy's carbs are getting so cruddy. It would seem to me, that if a carb is getting so dirty that you need this sea stuff, then you need to change your practices. I've always got good results when using Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel supply.

Agree John ! 40+ years of running these never had a fuel problem or a carboned up head, little bit of Marvel Mystery Oil in my gas can and good refueling habits ! In the winter months when I'm not buying much gas to plow snow I add stabilizer to my 5 gallon can, sometimes I have the same gas I purchased for the last mowing of fall use it all winter and start mowing come spring with no issues. I also shut the fuel valve and run the carb dry if I know it's going to be sitting awhile before the next use.
