Default E85 Carburetor Gummy Blues

I have been using stabilized E85 fuel through a Quick Fuel E85 carb for several years. The float bowls have been drained after every race and left open to dry, but still the gummy blues prevail. After a fresh barb rebuild, I am starting to run the float bowls dry with FP off and then fill the bowls with non ethanol fuel. I'm not sure this will keep my carb any less gummy, so what has worked best for you and what do you think of my latest method?

Quello che stai facendo ha senso come tentativo, ma con l’E85 il problema è proprio che tende a lasciare residui appiccicosi anche quando sembra tutto asciutto. Svuotare le vaschette e lasciarle aperte aiuta, ma spesso non basta perché resta comunque una pellicola. L’idea di riempirle con benzina senza etanolo può funzionare meglio come “barriera”, però non è una garanzia a https://winspark1.it/ lungo termine se il carburatore resta fermo. In genere quello che funziona meglio è pulizia completa e asciugatura profonda, magari con aria compressa, e poi stoccaggio completamente a secco oppure con carburante stabile senza etanolo.
