Fire hose this time!! JK.
Compared to what I do with my big cup, and the rate at which I pour it in, he's doing about the same.
Would I use a hose? Nah.
Just shows it can be done for those who are squeamish about it.
And, I'm not gonna start doing videos!!!
Pretty easy.
Get a cup of water, preferably something like a 24 to 32 oz. cup.
With the air cleaner off, hold the engine RPM at 2000 RPM or higher and dribble the water from the cup, which you've pinched to look like a spout on top, into the carb or throttle body. Go slowly and the engine will bog a bit. Stop and let it recover. Repeat until the cup is empty.

Is the water being prayed into the air tube cleaning the injectors too?
Or would fuel injector cleaner better?
I have some spray cleaner, if I take them out or can you just pour something into the tank.
One of my friends pours Marvel Mystery Oil into the gas tank also.
We are talking about cleaning engines now.
Got you on the MMO and the Rotella and Wix filter.
Might have time to change the oil this week.
Thank!~

^ Funny.
I recently installed Rotella conventional with NAPA 1515. Now the engine at idle sounds literally like a diesel, and with a tick in the top end. Both go away when throttle is applied.
Should I switch to T5 maybe? Or back to the NAPA house brand 10-30 I have been running for years.
