Here's the story:
TR engine in a Morgan, recently restored. Tank was drained and re-filled, but not flushed. Grrr. Carbs rebuilt, new pump.
Throttle gets progressively "sticky". Pulled cable off of carbs, throttle shaft hard to turn. Pulled carbs and found this muck.
Anyone know what this is? Don;t want it to happen again.
Incidentally, the substance made it only to the intake ports. No traces in the combustion chamber (I love my $22 harbor freight borescope!), on the plugs, or in the exhaust manifold.
It's not indian head gasket sealer. (was suggested)
I doubt it was gas. (we took a 1/2 gallon sample and carefully boiled it off in a steel bowl)
Maybe from using ATF as carb damper fluid?
