For carb/injector cleaner I use Chevron Techron.. The problem with a motor that isn't brought up to max heat periodically isn't just carb gum but deposits on the valves and stems.

I know, it sounds like snake oil but it's been around for at least, my knowledge, 60 years. It frees lifters and valve steams of oil sludge and carbon.. It takes maybe a tank of gas with the crank case oil added but it works, at least for me. No, I don't sell the stuff... In my experience....
