<VV> Plugged idle tubes

Grant,
     Maybe we should start using Lipitor to prevent buildup in our carbs like it prevents buildup in our arteries.<GGGGGG>
     Seriously, I wonder if using "Marine Formula" STA-BIL would be helpful.  This stuff is sold in boating areas since marine engines seem especially susceptible to the ethanol present in today's gasoline.  It's bottle says "extra corrosion protection and fuel system cleaning".

I think it probably happens because the jet at the end of the tub is tapered and gradually builds up with a residue (sort of like what many of us are experiencing in our arteries :-). While I don't have a solution, I think regular use of some additive to "counteract" the ethanol might be at least an improvement to longevity of the parts.
