Oh my God!!
There's _water_ in my carb!!!!
No wonder it was clear. There's perfectly clear liquid in my carb. Funny, though, the secondary bowl had nice dark gas in it. I drained both and I'm venting out the house (it was filled by the black smoke that was pouring out the pipes). Heh, after three full clowwise turns, the fuel level just started to be seen on the top of the window.
The only thing I did to this carb was to pull my 570 off and send it to holley for some warranty work (secondary-primary shaft was blocking secondary opening/spark port misdrilled). I had paper towels jammed into the intake and the fuel lines sitting there open (ok, I know it's stupid). But there was like half a fuel bowl worth of water in there. It's been sitting for maybe 3 weeks.
