"Over time, Mogas deteriorates faster than Avgas"
"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... 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. Matt Did you try soap and water?
