- there are two methods to remove carbon build-up from your engine.
- Both are performed with the engine warmed up and at a fast idle ~1600rpm
- 1) messy and environmentally compromising.
- SLOWLY pour a quart of cheap automatic transmission fluid down into
- your engine via the carburator.
-
- 2) clean and safe.
- SLOWLY pour water(cold) the same way.
-
- After you do this make a long ride in the country a part of your monthly
- driving.
