I don't have a problem with my old tractors but I have a Honda
motorcycle that sat for almost 20 years with gas in the tank and carb.
Will this Red Devil lye work OK in a light tank too? I know that I will
have to be careful as this stuff is caustic. Which would be better for
the carb - Red Devil lye or lacquer thinner?
