I did some resarch at the time and learned that certain things actually do live and grow in gasoline. I was finally
able to clean the carbs enough to get them working, but it took many hours of mechanical scrubbing and poking open of
fine orifices in the carbs. The green slime was completely immune to carb cleaners, alcohol, acetone, etc. I tried
every common solvent and cleaner I had and nothing would touch whatever that stuff was.

Did you try soap and water?
