A little ice, a shot of espresso and some cream into the combustion chambers -
WaLa - instant Frappacinno

I've heard of
it ,too,  as well as pouring uncooked rice into the combustion
chambers.  I
think I'd rather go with Seafoam, or at the very least the old
reliable
"Italian Tune-Up"

I've heard
about it.  Would think that it would be easier to do on a down
draft carb than
the side draft SU.

Had a Toyota that blew a head gasket - to the coolant
passages.  The affected
cylinders didn't have a bit of carbon.
