   I find that most any fuel system cleaner,injector cleaner, Stabilizer 
,etc , is usually best described and used as a maintenance and storage 
product. This problem is a Big issue on carbureted motorcycles for that 
same issue your having and cleaners never work in the fuel system to Fix 
a problem. Unless your pilots are not that bad ,who knows if it will 
help your problem, so Good luck  ...
