hey guys welcome back to my small engine repair channel today i want to show you
an experiment that i will do with the k100 and i want to show you the cleaning power of k100 if you
soak dirty carburetor parts in it so make sure you watch the video right to the end because you're
going to see as time passes how it's cleaning that small jet in the jar and just so you guys know i'm
not sponsored in any way whatsoever to make this video and i always purchase the products that i
use to make my videos so i'm going to show you with this receipt here k100 i paid 11.99 for it
plus tax for a grand total of 13.55 so what i'm going to do today guys is take a dirty jet from a
very dirty carburetor that's been sitting with bad gas in it for a few years i'll take the jet out
i'm going to put it in this jar over here fill the jar with k100 then i'll leave it sit in the
jar submerged in the k-100 and then i'll get back to you and give you the elapsed time that it took
to clean the jet so i'll open up this carb here the main jet that gets dirty in most carburetors
is the one right in the center here where the emulsion tube is as you can see this carburetor
is quite dirty it's got some green algae built up on it even the float is green in color
and here's the small jet it's green so you can partially see through the jet here it is
built up with dirt and algae from bad gas what i'm going to do is make a small nick on this
jet so that you know it's the exact same one when i'm done this experiment
actually i'll make a small nick with the milwaukee tool that you've seen in another previous video
so there'll be no doubt that i'm showing you the same jet when this experiment is over again have a
close look at this jet here a lot of green stuff on it it does stink now i'll stick it in this
small jar and i'll crack open a new container of k100 and now i'm going to pour it in the container
i'm going to leave the jet soak in here so i just wrote the date here on the small jar with
a sharpie december 15th 2020 and i'll see you guys in a while hey guys i'm back it's been 48 hours
since the dirty jet has been soaking in the k-100 so again it's been soaking in pure k-100 it's not
diluted and today's december 17th it's been 48 hours since this jet has been soaking in here
and you can already see that the k100 solution here is starting to change color it's got a
greenish color to it or a bluish tinge and that's because all the dirt and grime is coming off of it
now even though it's soaking in pure k100 stabilizer and not diluted it is still giving you
a small glimpse of what may happen when you have k-100 added to your fuel in your equipment so keep
watching the video guys right to the end because as time goes on i will show you what's happening
to that small jet in the k-100 soaking in that little jar and you'll see how clean that little
jet will be once the video is done hey guys it's been a month since i've been doing my experiment
in the shop with the k100 to show you how it cleans your internal carburetor parts
and i have to say that i'm impressed at how clean this little jet is one month later in the jar so
you can see the date on the small jar here and i did show it a few days later december 15th we are
now january 15th 2021 you can see a discoloration in the k-100 and look at that jet how clean it is
i'll remove it from the jar in a few seconds here and i'll just pull it out of here with my pliers
and here it is
and you can see the small nick i made in it so that you guys will notice the exact
same one and look at how clean that is i like how the brass is nice and clean and
the small center hole is clean as well so this goes to show that if you have a
good quantity of k100 in your fuel it cannot be responsible for your jets getting dirty
now again this was pure k-100 it was not diluted with gas or anything else so we'll obviously clean
a bit better than if it's diluted in gas and i want to show you again the actual color of this
stuff compared to how the jar is now a month later and a month later with the dirty jet
so this is what the k100 looks like right out of the can as you can see
so i'm back again it's march 10th 2021 the small dirty jet has been soaking in the pure k100 for
over two and a half months now and here's the color of the k100 after over two and a half months
so i've actually been looking at this bottle quite a bit because i wore off
where i wrote the date with the sharpie and again it was put in the k100 in december 2020
and here's the comparison as to what the k-100 looks now as to what it should look like when
it comes out of the bottle so you can see there that there's a lot of cleaning agents in there
that will actually clean your carburetor parts now i have to admit this is pure k-100 so you would
not get the same result in your gas tank obviously because it's diluted but again if you use the
product properly it will help so let's take the jet out of the jar here and have a close look
and here's the small jet you can see it's super clean there's the small marking i made to it so
that you guys would know it is the same little jet you can go back to the beginning of the video
if you want and look at how dirty it was before i put it in here so usually i recommend to people to
grab a torch tip cleaner and clean their jets with it just like that now even if you soak your parts
in the k100 like i did you should still grab the torch tip cleaner and just run it through there
quite impressed with that because i did not expect this result basically when you think of a
fuel stabilizer you just think about it preserving your fuel and making sure that your equipment runs
but i didn't realize the k100 had so much cleaning power anyway just thought i'd share that with you
guys try it for yourself guys get some k-100 put it in a bottle throw in a dirty jet leave it set
in there and come back every so often and see how clean it gets by itself now a question i got from
a guy that called me actually a few weeks ago he asked me would k-100 cause gelling in a carburetor
well the simple answer to that is definitely no it would actually prevent gelling in your carburetor
if you use the stabilizer and i switched from stable to k100 because i've had better results
here in the shop and the main reason i started using the k100 is because it does have some
moisture absorbing properties in your fuel that's if you use it correctly now remember guys if you
use any fuel stabilizer just use common sense because if you have too much water in your gas
no matter how much fuel stabilizer you put in it will not cure it it will not make that fuel
good for your engine so if you do have a fuel tank with a lot of fuel in it just dump out the
tank let it dry and then start fresh with some good gas and by all means you can recreate these
tests yourself at home using the k100 and remember guys unlike many other videos out there i've never
been sponsored to make any stabilizer video on youtube thanks again for watching guys make
