Keith, if you have a Mercury Marine dealer near where you are, stop there
and pick up two things. One is a carb cleaning spray can, I don't have a
part number. The other is a product called "marine engine fogging oil",
also in a spray can. Both are time tested high quality products. I have
used both of them for years. Read the labels, follow their
recommendations. JWIWD.
