Well, define gunked? I pulled my car out of an 8 month storage a week ago. I had a trickle charger on the battery, and I dumped 1/2 of the large bottle of Stabil in the tank. Last week I sprayed a big shot of starter fluid down the carb and wham! She fired off! I've been driving it daily for the past week....No problems.

I never tried water down the carb before, I did drizzle some ATF though....keep the Rs up and don't let the neighbors call the fire department, because she's gonna puff some smoke, but the top end is gonna love it!!!

2 more days and my car is back to sleep for another 4 months+......oil filter change, stabil, then tucked away in the bag.....
