th<st1:PersonName w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName> you folks are talking
about? Obviously, it announces itself by degrading engine performance,
and I was curious about when to start looking for the problem. One of my
H<st1:PersonName w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName>ori pipes had a lot of crud on
the outside, and I cleaned it with some Airplane Cleaner th<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName> I picked up <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName> Advanced Auto Parts. It took several
applic<st1:PersonName w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName>ions, but did a fair job of
cleaning. But--th<st1:PersonName w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName>'s not the
same as the inside of the pipe. When I was building engines, I had a 5
gallon pail of carburetor cleaner and I'm wondering if th<st1:PersonName
w:st="on">at</st1:PersonName> stuff would do any good. It sure removed
all the crud from a carburetor; while the race engines never got all

besides, and I saw the carb cleaner work miracles.<BR><BR>Bill Glaze<BR>P.S.
