wasnt an argument but some **** made it into an argument. Forum is for open thoughts not bash each other like ****s.

At the risk of getting involved (which I do not want to!), why don't we all take the higher road and drop it now and get back to the subject of the thread.

Thanks in advance

Preventing carbon build up in an Q is like preventing cancer. We all know what might help with out knowing a direct cause and guess what? After we do everything right we still get it.

I know there have been many opinions and stabs( we can do without) but, since carbon build up is likely by design we can only do our best with good fuel and proper scheduled maintenance.

Every manufacturer has it's issues and carbon build up just happens to be one for our Q's. It's not an if, more likely when.....

Not sure why the 'tude, but I'd ask that you reel it in, or find somewhere else to post.
