I was recently tuning up my leaf blower, and weed wacker while servicing the spark plugs, I noticed a good amount of carbon build up on the piston heads. Both units are around 4 or 5 years old. I use them quite a bit between mine and my mothers yards. This is the first year I put in new plugs, I cleaned up the old ones the first several years. I usually use 93 octane Shell, with a quality 2 stroke oil. 40:1 ratio as the book says. I usually go through 2 gallons a season. I maintain both tools as the manuals recommend as well. Both units do run very good, but seeing the amout of carbon build up did not seem healthy. My chainsaw cylinder head looked clean, although it does not get used as much. Is there something I can or should do to clean the carbon, that does not include tearing the engine apart. Or is this really nothing to worry about? Thanks for any info. I gave up researching the web when I got a Trojan virus while clicking on a how to video....
