Default you're also building carbon in that cylinder. Anticipate using >>
2 tank loads of gas with Techron concentrate...just to be sure.
Otherwise,,,,,,,,knock city and ignition retarding.
as in lost power

Default excessive gas on the cylinder walls washes the oil away >>
leaving a "dry" wall leading to rapid friction / heat wear.
Good ol' "internal combustion engine 101"
