cross between carb cleaner ,rubbing alcohol and light machine oil. Other wise it taste like it smells. take a couple good wifs of the exhaust and then take breath mint and you'll get a good idea[:'(]

Come on guys I know I'm not the only one to blow into a carb line and get shot in the face by the exuast line[X(]

ive blown into the pressure line with the fuel line still connected whilst cranking the engine over (to prime it) and got a mouth full of something... not sure what it was (may have been exhaust fumes, may have been nitro or nitro fumes) but it burnt the back fo my troat and i dont want to do it again
