I once spoke to a motor boat racer that would put thin water hose down his

carbs (maybe his idea off water injection )he claimed that when he stripped
down the motor their was no carbon build up at all. I have noticed that with
my own personal experience with blown cylinder head gaskets, the cylinder
where the water leaked through allways has less carbon. Maybe we must just
induce some water into the intake while the motor is running before we strip
it down.

An old Indy 500 mechanic once told me that putting water into a carb was
known as an Okie valve job. I tried it once. It did blow a lot of carbon
off
the valves (or somewhere). It also blew out a weak muffler.
