Buzzman and Mark, Totally agree with what both of you said on all issues.
I've seen carbs frost up at an idle, heat of vaporaztion. Just like freon changing from a liquid to a gas, it requires heat energy.
Is there is a simple way to make an air pre heater for winter. I had a 71 duster that had an air pre heater, part of breather.
Still like to know a simple way to decarbon, is there a snake additive? Hate the idea of manually removing it.
An old VW mechanic said get engine hot, running real fast and sprinkle bon-ami in carb. It's like sand blasts the carbon loose. No thank you, I'm not stupid enough to do that. Years ago when I worked on oil furnaces there was Chimney sweep. An oil like spray you would apply to the soot inside the furnace. When furnace was on, the heat would make the chimney sweep burn off the soot. Glowed like a cigarette. Not brave enough to spray chimney sweep in cylinder. Has anyone tried it?
What about ethanol? If I make E15 or E15 by blending E85 with E10 would that make the octane go up? Or would a higher E20 produce more oxygen when it burns putting me more in the LOP zone? From what I've been reading the holes in piston is caused by low octane and lean fuel mix. For today's cars to use 87 octane, they use EGR to prevent pinning, pre detionation. We don't have that on our old tractors.
Thanks, It's nice to chat and learn from people on YT. George
