   Hi Steve W,   
      
   I appreciate your advice, where I know how risky any advice is on Usenet.   
      
   Rest assured I understand what you're saying, which is that the   
   polyetheramines, and perhaps the alcohol and petroleum distillates in   
   something a marketing team calls "Seafoam" are _different_ than what's in   
   gasoline, even as they are diluted _in_ that very same gasoline.   
      
   Essentially, diluting that solution is said to turn a tank of gasoline into   
   a tank of "carb cleaner" (and perhaps cylinder wall cleaner too!).   
      
   I get that as I'm very familiar with polyetheramines being a "soap for   
   gas", which is why I buy only Tier 1 fuels like Costco gasoline.   
      
   The problem I have with solutions like "Techron" or "Seafoam", are that, in   
   the end, they're merely trademarks, which are, in and of themselves,   
   meaningless (except to a MARKETING organization).   
      
   They can put that trademark on _anything_ they want to put it on.   
   o Yet, I understand the point - which is my jets are likely gummed up.   
      
   I agree with that point so I don't disagree with the concept that _more_   
   soap for gas might be better than simply using the Tier 1 Costco fuels.   
      
   In the end, I agree with everyone who suggests that my "surging" idle is   
   likely due to a clogged jet inside the carb, which, as you noted, has   
   mechanical solutions - but which - understandably - are more work than   
   simply adding solvents into the fuel tank.
