I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS IS DONE -- HOWEVER
I have been around mechanics and their shops ever since I could walk and
this is a trick that I first saw my father do some 50 years or so ago, and
since then have seen others do it and have done it myself a few times
If you have an engine that has pre-ignition knock/rattle and/or is fouling
plugs I have had success clearing problem by::
Run engine until it reaches normal operating temp.
Remove air cleaner and as you hold throttle to higher RPMs than idle slowly
dribble water from bottle into carb/throttle body, not enough to stall
engine and stop and let engine pick back up if it tries to stall. Use about
12 ounces water, you should get black junk out tail pipe and it will remove
carbon from inside cylinders and if plug is firing will clean it, if plug
is not firing that cylinder will not heat and water will not effect it.
I have also seen similar thing done with transmission fluid, I was recently
told not to do this with the modern fluids that can be used in GM or Ford
either. Use old style "A" or Ford. My information is that the new
multi-vehicle transmission fluids contain solids.
