I've got gas dribbling out of the VST overflow on my Suzuki OB. Unfortunately, I didn't get out as much as I wanted to last year, and I think the gas sitting in the VST gunked it up a bit. It's non-ethanol gas with Stabil used at every fill-up.
I can't figure out how to get this thing off since I can't reach the hoses on the back and underside, but I can get the front-top hose off. What are the chances I can shoot some carb cleaner in there, let it sit for a bit, and then crank it up to flush it out...and that solve my problem? What are the chances that will screw something else up? I've done a lot of fuel system maintenance on 2-strokes, but none on a 4-stroke.
Will running it like this screw something else up besides dumping gas in the water?
