JIm, your reply raises a question...
On starting my Harley one spring, I had a loud tapping from the engine. The local shop thought a piece of carbon had gotten stuck under a valve, holding it open, and the tapping was the now-loose-pushrod. Their solution was to take off the air-cleaner and make a spray or two of misted-water through the carb while the engine was running hard enough not to stall. Cured it almost instantaneously.
They told me to open 'er up good, next time I was going up a long hill, to blow out any more of those deposits.
You ever hear of this being applied to a tractor engine?
