Ferry,<br /><br />First off. 2-cycle oil for air cooled engines is not good for water cooled engines and visa versa.<br /><br />Second, use the "search" feature on this board using the word decarb. There is PLENTY to read.<br /><br />The decarb process basically just uses a decarb agent sprayed into the carburetor throat that is allowed to sit and soak and then flushed out by running the engine.
