Dave,
In the old days, I'm led to believe they actually added water to the carby
to clean the carbon deposits - that's water in addition to normal fuel.
I have never done this but when you think about it, it does sound logical,
probably get some additional compression as well as the water droplets flash
to steam.
Probably a little 2 stroke oil in there as well wouldn't hurt !

Heresy it it, but before I go to my lynching I think I would like to try a
little magic. Next time I get the chance, I am going to POUR one full cup
of water into my gas tank. I will let it set overnight. Then I will
attempt to start the engine without draining the fuel. If my magic works,
the engine will start an run just fine after a few seconds of running the
pump. If the test fails, I will put the drain plugs back in (and eat a
crow).
