    Green stuff? Like a coating, or crud, or goop?

    After a wile gas turns into something similar to varnish, get a can of carb cleaner, and a rag, and spend some quality bonding time with it, clean the jets out good, and make sure the needle is clean. Luckily, working with a carb is normally more time than money.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    After a while gas gets kinda scary, looks like it's going to end up being a cheap movie monster. It's always a reminder to never let something sit with gas in the carb.
