I have always poured some form of fuel injection cleaner in the tank to keep the carb and valves clean. Pour a hole bottle of Gumout or Seafoam into a full tank of fuel every 4 or 5 fill ups and it keeps my cub running great.

Can't say it ads more power but it runs smoother. I have done this to several cubs with the same results. I have had the ends ports be off by .375 [3/8"] on a port that isn't quite one inch.
