[Shotimes] Intake Goo

[Paul Nimz]

The crud is always being ingested by the motor by means of the small port in
front of the throttle plate (venturi effect).  It condenses in the surge
tanks and intake when the temp falls below 100F or so.  At shut down, the
engine heat soaks and drives off the more volatile components of the yellow
sludge and leaves behind the hard carbon material.
