Fuel lines; One fuel feed to the carb, one return line from carb, and the other two are for evaporative emissions (charcaol cannister in engine bay)...

Best carb for a 12a? From what I've heard Sterling does really nice work at modifying the stock Nikki carb.

Seafoam seems to work well for clearing up carbon buildup, use in gas and oil...

Charcoal cannister: About the size of a small coffee can, passenger side of engine bay w/2 vacuum type lines going to it. It is used to keep fumes from building up and releasing to the atmosphere. Ignore this whole system, there's nothing that can really go wrong with it so you're best off just not even messing with it...

Seafoam is available at most autoparts stores for around 5 bucks a can.
