I just walked by two guys having a conversation on the sidewalk, and one of them said to the other:

"I've done this a couple of times. You pour a little bit of water into the carburetor while it's running, and it will start spitting out all this black shít."

Is this a legitimate technique for cleaning something in the engine??
