	I always hear this, but have found that carbs that were "parked"
with gas in them, and sat unused for several years, worked just fine.

	Is this an urban legend, or is it true?  Would we see this "hard
gunk" in a jar if we filled it with gas and let evaporation do its things?  
Is there a chemist in the house?
