Maybe trying a fuel system cleaner with an upper cylinder lube will fix the issue? It has worked a few times on a few cars I have owned over the years. Sometimes the sliding parts get a little sticky or gummed up and won't float, a few tank fulls of a proper fuel cleaner/lube and problem is solved.
*Renewable Lubricants Bio-Plus is great at cleaning and lubing fuel system parts
*Schaeffers 131 Neutra is also amazing at cleaning and lubing fuel/hydraulic/engines/transmissions/etc. Works on cleaning "Wet Clutch Engine/Transmissions" that most Motorcycles have too :tup:
*Biobor is a little expensive but has worked every time I used it.
*Star-Tron is some good stuff
*Sta-Bil Marine is some good stuff
*Penray makes some really good products for a decent price. Every Penray product has worked as advertised :)
Lucas UCL has helped a few times in the past, not as fast as others at cleaning carbon deposits but works great with sticky/gummed up parts.
BG44k is really expensive but has worked the few times I used it.
Gumout Regane/All In One has worked great the times I used it.
MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) is known to clean sticky carbs and fuel sending units over the last (almost) hundred or so years.
Sea Foam? I never had it work for me personally (on my personal vehicles, I tried a Top Cylinder Cleaning, aka "Smoke Show", cleaned no carbon from my pistons or Intake plenum), but I revived a customers old 90's Suburban that was having "Fuel Starvation Issues", someone in their family recommended Sea Foam but they didn't know how to use it with a car that would run... I made $40 to pour a can of Sea Foam in their tank of gas, tow it to the Gas Station fill it with premium "Top Tear"... the next day I got a call saying the Suburban started and if I needed more $ for the work:yay: I laughed and said "no" as I already made $40 basically doing nothing but a tow half a block up the road and back to get gas on their dime :crazy:
Anyways, I have a huge list of fuel system cleaners I have used over the years I was wrenching on cars for a living... some customers would ask I use specific brand/items and every time I would try and find out if they worked or not (scoped parts for spray patterns and also any carbon before/after use). Most worked, but some took several tanks of fuel to start cleaning. The ones I listed above are easily found and work the best for the $ paid; they are listed in no particular order :) but I found the ones with * are about the best you can get for the $ and Dilution options :)
I have tried almost everything from 3M to WYNNS branded fuel injection system/carb cleaners over the last 25 years of wrenching on things with my pops
