"... I  took apart my carburetors on my 65 110 to see if I could find out 
why it is  running so poorly.  I was surprised to find clusters of  clear  
jelly-like deposits in the carb bowl.  I am told this is from the  ethanol in 
the gas.  What is the best fuel additive to clear this up?  ..."   "... 
Yup..that's moisture and ethanol..Just add the  inline filter at the left rear 
wheel junction..."
 
John: I have always used an inline fuel filter, in the left  wheel well, as 
suggested above. This is a good suggestion. However, until I  started 
treating the fuel with every tank full, I was having loads of carburetor  
fouling. The best fuel treatment I've found is Sta-Bil Ethanol  Treatment Marine 
Formula (the standard formula is "OK," but the  Ethanol Marine Formula is 
better). Once I started treating with the  aforementioned chemical (about 
2-years past), all fouling issues went  away.
