another first for me... orange gas, and green gas.

Drained the bowls on 81 850G. carbs 1,2,3 looked like this : IMG_4837.jpg

Old and nasty, as expected. I drained gas tank... yellow, not so much orange. MaybeI should say brown but it was sunny outside.

and carbs #4 looked like this: IMG_4839.jpg

I understand the green is probably "Sta Bil"... or a cheap copy.
But only in one carb??? How does that happen?

If a bike was stored for very long sitting leaned over on the sidestand, it's quite common to find very different scenery in the "downhill" float bowls (#1) versus the "uphill" carbs (#4).

Hmm, I see a something like a green tornado about to eat your house?

If you drop the float bowls it will tell you the complete story. My guess is that the green carb will look very different.
