    carb bowl pitts ?

    just pulled the carb bowl off my newly purchased 2 stroke and see the carb bowl has some pitting...what causes this ? then dumped the gas out of the tank and got what looks like gray water and then some white drops of oil like liquid ????

    That bowl/carb is also made of(magnesium) pot metal and corrodes easily. I have had a few float bowl hinges almost corrode off.
    Berrymans carb cleaner will eat your carb,if left too long in the basket!!!
