Seafoam in the tank and run it. Its a 50,50 chance it will clean it up

You have to take the carb off and clean it thoroughly. You didnt say what the motor is, but theyre all pretty easy to r+r.

Yep, taking off the carb is the only way to actually clean it.

I, too would try Seafoam, but you might have to take it apart. Seafoam won't dissolve everything.
