    My son has a Datsun Pickup. Appears to have a sticky valve. I poured a little bit of water in the carb and it cleared up for awhile. Does anyone know a quick easy fix ?

    Thanks riporter

    We'll give it a try. Do you just add some to the oil or what ?

    yeah, just put one of the quart-size bottles in place of one quart of oil. works wonders in my experience!

    Marvel Oil

    Is a fine product, been around for years and works. Pour about a pint in the gas tank too. I have also poured it down the carb(very slowly) with good results.
