And why do you have a new fuel tank? If you didn't blow out all the fuel lines and rebuild the carb after the new tank was installed, then you've most assuredly have junk in tiny unseen passages in your Nikki guaranteed...ask me how I know...it was an $800 lesson for me...

The company that could make an additive like that would make a fortune...I know I would always keep a couple of cans handy... the ones I've tried so far don't seem up to the task of clearing carbs... at least not like the carbs I seem to keep running into on all the project cars I keep helping out on...
