fuel additives to clean carbs

sonic85 · 2013-04-18 20:50:36

hows things lads? I think the carbs on my bike could do with a clean - id love to give it a go myself but I have very little mechanical knowledge and experience. I was just wondering are there any additives I could mix in with the petrol that would do the job for me instead of taking the carbs apart? cheers

Bit hard to make a recommendation without knowing what the problem is. What's wrong with the bike?

In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

runs rough and can cut out at idle at times. theres also a flat spot that sometimes occurs in second. ive asked a couple of lads about it and they told me it sounds like the carbs may be slightly blocked

Balance the carbs.
