What is the yellow precipitate in my outboard's carburetor?

처리 내용

Those are the remnants of gasoline When you let gasoline evaporate it leaves behind various elements within the gas that can't dissipate through evaporation. These remnants can clog various galley's in your carburetor as well as clog jets. Even if you are soaking your carburetor you will still want to physically clean out the jets and use compressed air to ensure there is no buildup plugging the various circuits within the carburetor body. You can use thin copper wire strands to poke through jets. Hold them up in the light and look through them to ensure you have removed any debris that may be blocking them. In the future, as @moab states in his comment, you will want to run the carburetor float bowl dry after use to prevent this from occurring again.
