carb cleaner

[guru]

I have a 1980 9.9 chrysler would it hurt to use carb spray in to the carb when the motors is running to help clean the carb out. or is there anything I can add to the gas. Do they make carb cleaner for 2 strokes<br /><br />Thanks for the help.

Re: carb cleaner

Gumout used to make a marine carb cleaner, but I hav't seen any in years. Don't know if there was any actual difference from auto cleaner. I've always used Gumout on my O/B's and havn't seen any problems with it. Usually run the first tank of the season [6 gal portable] with Gumout in it.

Re: carb cleaner

AT any napa store you can get 2 types of "seafoam" decarb.One in a can that you can add to your fuel every so often, and the other which comes in a spray can that you can spray into the carburator.(both are the same chemical make-up).<br />Last time I used the spraycan a cop came running into my backyard with a fire extinguisher because of all the smoke it caused by decarbing the engine.<br />It will clean out your carburator without attacking the rubber parts to badly,like some more agressive cleaners do.It will act as a fuel stabilizer if you add it to your fuel<br />The stuff in the fuel is not as sudden but it works fine.<br />Good luck
