Anyway, the only thing I've done any different is add Stabile to the fuel a few months ago. Is it possible this is from the Stabil? It seems to totally disolve when touched, but I don't know, seems pretty weird. The whole bike only has 40 miles on it and these are brand new carbs. I've had them off before for jetting changes and they were clean. Any ideas??

I stay away from ethanol in my bikes (and I'm a corn farmer).

i had a tank sealer kit leave a similar thing in mine,
either the fuel or a stabilizer a buddy gave me caused a jelly to almost fill my bowls.

is your tank sealed?

Wow, that looks like the stuff. My tank was sealed during the rebuild by "gas tank renu" and seemed to be working well. I first thought of the sealer, but it was OK until this time. Maybe the Stabil reacted with the sealer?? What did you do to correct the problem?
I use 93 octane from BP, I think. Definitely might have some ethanol in it - can't buy it any other way around here during the winter. I'm not sure when I last bought gas but it was probably around Sep or Oct. Not sure if they had the winter mix in the tank yet or not.
