Where is all the bad stuff that settles in the bowl from gasahol ?
and all the varnish that comes from todays fuel lousy fuel that messes everything up,......you know, all the stuff that you need to put seafoam in to get rid of,......all the stuff that really does not happen anymore w/ todays fuels !
Spiders ? Yep, that beats all.
From just that one statement, seems like a spider leg got into the "fuel enrichment system".......which I know nothing about on this carb.
But, by all means, add a fuel filter,.....not that that would have prevented this.
PS,....I did forget that Art was into this carb bowl before, maybe cleaned it. But if like my '07, it was clean before he started.

"Super Heavy-duty Insect Treatment"
Where do you get this stuff?

From long years of effort finely honing an obtuse sense of humor, tainted by a half-million miles on motorcycles, blowing things up while inverted and supersonic, thousands of hours of flying around in little airplanes with the other "pilot" trying to kill me, 43 years of being married to the wrong woman, the frustration of being only halfway through my quest of expending a trailer-load of 9mm, and a lifetime of combatting the spread of liberalism.

Where do you get YOUR stuff?

Grin

p.s. -- did you even notice the acronym?

Yes I noticed the acronym. My tongue was in my cheek. It was a joke. Grin

BTW I flew a friends Chipmunk a few times- inverted even. I imagine you did your combat flying in 'Nam?

Chipmunks are cool. I almost got a ride in one at an airshow, but the weather screwed everything up.

I just missed 'Nam. My brother was there '67-'71 in Dustoff helos (medevac). Was shot down 7 times. That was enough for both of us, he used to explain.

The only stuff I ever blew up were drones, towed targets, range targets (buses, dumpsters, old buildings) etc.

First F-4 job was in Iceland in '74. If you ever have chance to live there, pass it up.

OK- I cleaned the carb by taking the top off and soaking it with carb cleaner and Seafoam cleaner. Put it all back together. Put fresh gas in it and started it up. Man there was a lot of smoke from the cleaner. Took it out for a spin (drum role please).............
PERFECT!

It's amazing how much better they run sans spider.
Thanks for all your help guys.
And the funeral for the spider is tomorrow. He is already embalmed. Grin

Yeah, except, the black was black paint chips, and it was a black Mercury motor, and the fact is that seafoam did nothing to even begin to break it up.

OH. I was talking a double semi trailer. 1 full one and 1/2 of the second one. That would be 3/4 of the total, right?
