Hi guys. I just cleaned my carbs. On the output side (towards the engine) on the inside of the barrel was a white, dried chalk looking substance. only from the slides towards the engine. anyone have a clue what it might be and if it is a problem. I do not know. I hope its mag chloride or salt from the road, or ethanol residue. I did a plug test the day before and they all looked good. cardboard colored electrode, dark and oily 3 threads down. full and half throttle. I don't know if I should be worried. thanks
 

evey fall when i clean my carbs thats stuff is in there!!!.i don't know eather.just clean & go & no worrys.
 
X2 on dried up ethanol snot. If your feelin brave run your finger across it and touch your tongue. Should taste like corn!!!!! No seriously it would have a salty taste and tongue will get a lil numb.
