If you are running 2 cylce Mercs, try using seafoam instead of Quickleen. Much cheapper in the long run and keeps the plugs looking new.
Old dude too.
Put seafoam in the boat all year and decarb with it once a year.
Hardly any carbon comes out of the motor when I do the decarb procedure because I keep Seafoam in the tank year round.
Never use any type of stabilizer since Seafoam has stabilizer in it already.

I had some mildly old gas that was in my 4 wheeler and man that thing started running like shite for a while even when mixed new gas with it in tank.
Well i've used all of it and got fresh gas and it ran like a champ again.

Man this thread is making me worry about my fuel 
Think I might buy some sea foam. My boat sits 2 weeks to a month between uses lately and I know there is E10 in the tank right now. I do have a remote spin on fuel filter though.

Advance Autp parts has a sale on Seafoam right now.
$6.99 a bottle
Usually costs $8.99 a bottle at Walmart and other stores.
To De-carb a 2 stroke I usually get a small 1 gallon gas tank and pour in my pre mix 50:1 oil gas mix and pour in an entire can of Seafoam and make the engine run on that for about 20 minutes.
Let the engine sit for about 1 hour then crank it up on it's normal fuel supply.
Watch the carbon pour out of the Prop hub.
