Redex injector cleaner

Does this do any good in carb engines?

my motorbike has been standing all winter and it seems to be running a bit rough.

I suspect the carbs are a bit gummed up with evaporated fuel residue and I wondered if the injector cleaner might help?

Cheers

I suspect it is standard Redex, but needed a rename as the percentage of cars with cards must be below 1% by now. I use it in all my cars at least twice a year

Why not buy some carb cleaner?

Well as I understand it carb cleaner spray requires the carb to be dismantled so it can be used inside - I was hoping a fuel additive would avoid the need for this. I will still have spray round with the carb cleaner though

Fuel system cleaner ? Various companies manufacture it , Not injector cleaner

when i tried using redex, it was in a e30 bmw (318) and while i was using it, as directed, it kept splitting fuel hoses. and when i stopped using it, it was fine, so.... might be coincidence, but i wouldn't use it again just in case
