Dear Mike,

Some where within a span of 26 years I recall reading an article that briefly 
mentioned this option. It was tried and found to be a benefit by the author. 
BUT he did not give any details or I can not recall any. Also, it is hopeless 
for me to try to find this article. Maybe it was just to keep the valves 
clean?

I would try a small carb from a lawnmower or chainsaw.

Oh, the author said alcohol and did not say what species of alcohol (I'm sure 
it was "top self" stuff)

Best regards,

Jeff
