Hi Andy and all,
There's something very wrong with this picture so a short course in
chemestry may be in order. There is a big difference between the liquid
petroleum naptha and the solid napthaline. The former is otherwise known
as benzine and is used as an industrial solvent, the latter being
commonly known as camphor and is a distilate of coal tar. Naptha
evaporates unpredictably and uncontrolably in such an environment so the
fuel-air mixture would be rich one minute and lean the next, then
napthalene sublimates far too slowly to have any effect at all other than
to make the carb smell nice. Don't worry about the moths, they won't get
past the air cleaner.
One correction, since napthaline sublimates directly from solid to gas
there is no such thing as "liquid napthaline" which is why you don't get
wet and stained clothes when you put moth balls in the pockets.
