trying to avoid removing carbs and stripping them down so instead is the redex injector cleaner stuff any use? (as in has anyone had a carb blockage that was cured with redex stuff?).

I have used redex in the past for supposedly shifting carbon out of the engine - it seemed t o do no harm but since I did not examine the engine internals before and after, I have no idea if it did as it claims on the lable - all I saw it do was to produce masses of white smoke.

Wouldn't waste my money if it were me, if this is an ongoing problem I would do a compression test first, this will at least tell you the condition of the engine, and also it's quick and easy, if that comes out ok, i would next check the points and timing (assuming you still have points in it?) then if it still doesn't run right, get them carbs off, get em indoors on the dinning table and give em a good going over.

Do it right do it once, go on you know your going to have to eventualy
