Fuel I seem to be having ethanol issues. the carbs lost pilot screw response. What do y'all use to treat the fuel or anything else you can think of. I took the carbs of to clean them and need to find a clue . Thanks in advance for any info.

I use Techron to treat the fuel for storage.

I use Startron. Been using it for 10 years now. No carb issues since. I also only run 87 octane. None ethanol fuel.( per recommendation from a guy in Kansas. Who knows a thing or two about vmax prefomance)

Mornin' Thanks woody and maximum. because of helpful people like you I am starting to get the big picture. Ethanol is a BITCH. I also use startron for wood splitter , chainsaw and gen. where I live it gets below 0 this time of year, never a problem. Again thanks. Wayne Put another log on the fire

That is my go to additive better than Seafoam in my opinion. I have been using it for about 13 years now.

This is what we use in UK.

I don’t like seafoam because it’s alcohol based like the ****** fuel that causes the problems in the first place. Techron is petroleum based.

Generally run e10 as all the gas is **** here. One station near me sells nonethanol super for marine applications. **** is over $5 a gal. I run it as low as I can before winter. Cold here in maine. Last ride I will Fill her full of the good stuff pull the fuel pump relay and run here dry. She runs good every year and starts on the old gas but have started to develop a seep at the bowl gsk. O-rings dry out without fuel. I'm planning a rebuild this spring. I have used startron in the past but what you need is good old gasoline. Corn sucks for carb bikes. It will work if you keep it going all time but will not last long.
