    Carb Cleaners

    Is it ok to use regular automotive carb cleaner on an outboard. I have heard that its not because there is nolube in it and it only hurts. I have also heard of people using WD-40 in their carbs. Is this ok? I want to be sure before I go and ruin the enngine.

    Decarbonizing

    I have read a lot of the posts on here and a lot of people talk about decarbonizing your outboard. I was wondering how this was done, how often it should be done, why it should be done, and what products are needed to do it. I have an 89 Force 125. Also, will this help compression? Thanks
