Excessive carbon deposits reduce engine performance by:
- idle hunting (idle speed goes up and down)
- poor hot or cold starting (starter cranking takes longer)
- engine run-on (dieseling)
- pinging during full throttle acceleration
To help clean out carbon deposits and minimize future carbon build-up:
- make sure that ignition and fuel systems are adjusted to specifications.
- add one (1) 20 oz. bottle "Autobahn Gasoline Additive" to fuel tank.. Fill fuel tank completely. Do not refill fuel tank until the gauge reads "1/4".
- recommend to customer to use only gasoline with a detergent additive package. Information about fuel composition is available from any gas station or the station's fuel supplier
