ethanol

Some folks think that using fuel stabilizer is only for off-season storage. While this may have been true in the good old days of pure gasoline, its not at all true anymore in this day and age of ethanol bastardized fuel. Unless you enjoy pulling carbs and cleaning pilot jets, etc., here are...

There is a cool app that is called "pure gas" that takes your current location and tells you the stations closest to you that carry gas without ethanol. I thought there were none close to me so I always used gas with ethanol on my Gen 1's Now that I found this app, I will mention tfr from...

I like the idea that they're fighting against more ethanol, but what do you think their chances are ? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_EPA_ETHANOL?SITE=FLPET&SECTION=HOME

I think I have discovered my problem..... Symptoms.....have to babysit it during warmup......once warm a bog or hesitation just as you tip into the throttle......it idles and revs fine but just as you start to turn the throttle it will bog.....and it is burbling more on deceleration.... We...

How many of you use the ethanol blend fuels? Some of us ride 20+ year old bikes with materials that were developed with technology and understanding that is definitely last generation, particularly plastics and plasticized rubber. Have a read of this article copied in full below and sourced...

One of the biggest problems, if I'm reading it correctly, with ethanol in motorcycle engines is the deterioration of certain rubber parts in the fuel system. Seafoam is terrific stuff but, being mostly alcohol, probably contributes to the problem. Has anyone ever thought about putting together...
