This was a common problem in the uk last year when our gas supplies were of poor quality. Not been a problem for a while but I did have to go clean one of these carbs out last week after te truck had been standing 2 weeks.

I use STP carb cleaner, brake cleaner or solvent doesnt touch the sticky tar.
