Carbon-Soak-Removal?

[Falken]

I just cracked into my new bottle of Motomaster Formula 1 TC-W3 rated 2-Stroke premix oil.

This stuff actually smells very Ammonia...

And, boy, it sure lightened up the throttle response after only a few short trips.

2-Stroke oil is loaded with cleaners, and as it cleans the back of the intake valves, the slight oil residue it leaves behind seems to discourage hard carbon from building on the back of the valves.

I guess it is like putting butter in a cast iron pan before making eggs.

Shell's newer 2T premix outboard oils are a winner IMO.

I was previously using an ancient bottle of Shell Nautilus, that was dusty from being on the store shelf for so long.

This new stuff really seems to clean!

Is this where I launch into a huge diatribe about Amway and multi level marketing and some idiot at the county fair, etc???


?

If you'd like to go for it!

You see I give credit where credit is due, and you know I'm no Amsoil fan boy. LOL

I have tried it with bunch of chemicals including (and not limited to) techron, kreen, mmo etc and *nothing* takes off the carbon of the spark plug except sandpaper scrubbing.

Go ahead and try it yourself. Don't listen to all the yahoos here (including myself)


Many of those detergents or solvents....especially PEA, need heat to start the cleaning process.

This is true and often overlooked.

I did leave it in the afternoon sun. I did not have enough brass ones to put it on the stove.
