Default Carb problems, a special fluid to start with?
Greetings,

I just got a used bike, about 20 years old, & I feel that I am not getting as much power out of the bike as I should. Something feels off until about 3000RPM & then suddenly something kicks in & I get a whole lot more power. I've been told that the carbs could be cleaned, but is there a special fluid I could put in my gas tank that may clean, protect as well as help with this problem? I've seen some out there, but there are so many I figured I may as well as people who've used'em to see which one I should try.

Thanks
