Not really on topic but kinda.
Back when I was heavy into 4 wheeling almost everyone ran carbs. What blows my mind is that we never washed down the cylinders. I have no idea how that was possible.
I had carbs running with the truck laying on its side.
I had trucks upside down often.
I know for a fact raw fuel was volcanoing out of the float bowl vents and down the throat of many engines.
Now days my hobby is more racing and I have seen two engines die due to stuck floats and raw fuel.
I know for a fact I was filling the crank case with fuel and back then I wasn't such a fan of preventative maintenance, such as changing the oil....
So what gives?
Why do truck engines seem to be immune to washing out the rings and race engines die if I close the trunk to hard?
