DO NOT ADJUST YOUR TELEVISION SET!! The beautiful green tint highlighting these carburetor parts is due to the ethanol content in that stuff they call fuel which we fork over an exorbitant amount of clams to purchase!! The ethanol acts like a sponge, drawing water from the atmosphere and causing it to accumulate in the relatively small capacity float bowl to the point that ALGAE grows in GASOLINE!!! And then it wreaks this kind of havoc upon our motorcycles and power equipment. It’s just the governments way of helping small businesses turn a profit…

Fuel is supposed to flow through the slotted jet in the center of the photo… But the algae has it completely blocked.
