since atf is really just oil, seems like it wouldnt help much, but actually add to the problem. it will coat everything, burn only partially, and contribute to fouling/build up.

i have lightly drizzled water into the carb, and it is vaporized into steam, and over time/repeated use, will remove deposits. dont add to much at once (never a garden hose blasted into the carb) unless you wish to witness the effects of hydro-locking. water wont compress, but your rods will. use it sparingly, and keep the revs up, and water will clean out a lot of crap.

I was going to ask about bending a rod if you put water into a running motor...

If you do you use water, how much do you add, and use just plain water? Would a squirt bottle work better than just pouring it in with a container? How long will you need to do this for any effect?

The car is not driveable...it runs but no interior beside gauge cluster on the floor and a seat and steering wheel Can't drive it yet (legally) but I can run it.

Would you do the trick of adding a quart of ATF to the OIL and running the motor and then draining?
