I'd Like to keep carbs cleaner in all our small engines, mowers, trimmers, generators, snowblower, etc. Is this ideal? Or if not what is? Thanks!!!

I definitely wouldn't spend over $11.00 on a product like this one unless you have a lot of money and plan to use several bottles of this product on a single engine over some period of time. Unfortunately, I've paid for the brand name, and it's not worth of the bucks.

I cannot answer to this particular product, but sometimes I will put additives into my gas can for my small engines. In particular, I use octane boosters and add maybe 2oz to a one gallon 2-stroke mix. On my four strokes I will add some fuel system cleaner to a tank, maybe a few capfuls, then add the remainder to my car. I have never had a gummed up carb in 30 years by doing this.

Yes, it works very well to prevent as much carbon buildup on the piston head and exhaust valve. I use it in my mix cans and straight gas cans. Always remember to drain all fuel from your small equipment after the season. Ethanol is NOT good, and as far as I know, there is nothing that negates the effects of ethanol. Many make claims, but I have seen no real results.

You should NOT use any ethanol gas in small engines. Regular non alcohol gas is recommended. Furthermore take note of a very important factor here..... Gas MOSTLY ethanol based will not have a very long shelf life before it breaks down. If not used up in a month throw it out. Even the use of fuel stabil does not help. Its best if you cant find any regular gas non ethanol to only buy enough that will get you by for a month. Don't chance it and gum up your carb.

Hello: I used this to clean two SU carbs with no problems, looks like the strength is still good. Only a partially full gallon container, so space maybe an issue, but worked good for me.Don

It is a fuel designed with a higher octane specifically for small engines. Not only is it a far superior fuel than you get at the pump but it is guarantied to last in your saw and remain usable for 2 years without any gumming of your carb. My local sales agent for Husqvarna uses it in all his saws no matter who makes it. It is a bit expensive but worth every penny in my estimation,

Yes but you should make sure you maintain the fuel system, clean injectors, air filter, etc. I recommend using sea foam fuel additive to clean out the carbon from the spark plugs. The tuner works best if everything is working properly.

Should be able if each carb does not share common manifold. Each needs separate runner.

I don't know if this answer will be published by Amazon but NO! It is not worth that much money. You can buy it directly from carb rite for HALF the price! It is worth buying...it's delicious!

A good way to remove gas is to use a siphon pump like that used for filling kerosine heaters. Then run the engine until it runs out of the remaining fuel that will clear the line and carburator. I would store it dry for long term with no use.

Yes, but you may find a carb cleaner already in a spray bottle to be easier and cheaper.

Great question but not really sure. Would be a great question for Husqvarna. I've been told that with ethanol added in gasoline, it tends to degrade the fuel lines, over time, in these types of equipment. I had that experience in a Mastercraft leaf blower. Sorry, not much help..best of luck!

I have a 25 year old shredder with a Briggs motor. This was a direct replacement for the existing carburetor (matching part number). It worked fine in my application, since it is exactly the same carb. I can't comment on any other application.

Since it has nothing to do with the emmisions system, I don't know why CARB would have any jurisdiction. It's the cooling system. The EGR cooler would be the only coolant related component that CARB would be interested in. Get the filter, save your oil cooler :)

Honestly I don't know, David. You could order a diaphragm for the carb and soak it in gasoline to see what happens. I live in California which uses 5% or less ethanol in some of its gas. It did not affect my carb. Probably it's ok but I can't say for certain.

Add a fuel stabilizer and leave the gas in it. The amount of gas in the tank dose not matter. I started to use fuel stabilizer years ago and since I have no problems starting seasonal equipment even after months of inactivity. I try to start my generator about once a month to move oil around and lubricate internal engine parts

I sold my unit and bought another brand, so I have nothing to look at to help you. Your best bet might to to find one on display at a store and look at it or check youtube. There are carb rebuild videos on youtube.

Yes this generator uses gasoline & it's a good idea to also use fuel system conditioner as well...this generator is great.I'm taking it on a camping trip next weekend & I will update my review after that

Works great on our boat, everything in my food cart. Stuff is amazing. I think give it a try. If it turns out not right for boat engine its got 1000 other uses. I just cleaned a horrid grease caked vernt hood with it in minutes
