[DeTomaso] nasty carb mess

I don't think that stuff passed through the filter.  It looks more like a
precipitant to me.  Ethanol gasoline doesn't like aluminum or pot metal,
especially if it sits for long periods.  Ugly stuff like that gets left
behind.

Like you said, drive it more often - and a gasoline stabilizer is a good
idea as well.

I finally thought I'd overcome some negative inertia from moving and having
3 young kids by getting my carb rebuilt. It ran great in the garage until
the accelerator pump hydraulically locked up again. See what I found in the
link above. Boy that's ugly, the sintered bronze filter didn't stop any of
this from getting out of the tank. I DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT FOR LETTING MY
CAR SIT!
