I'm with Curt on this one, if you were running fine a month ago, then crank up and not so fine,,I'm guessing gunk in the gas ..if the tank is less than a half full, drain it and put it in the lawn mower, wash out the tank with fresh gas and then put a couple of gallons in it and see if things improve............

Thanks Bear. I was just curious, when I try an think it out it doesn't make since, but not everything does right experience goes a long way.

You're right, it doesn't seem logical...but man, oh man, is it ever true. I had SVS bad when I got the bike used, and had to do several shock treatments with Seafoam. I used cheap oil until I was done since I had to change it several times. No problems since.

Rossetaw, cheers.

If you're having SVS issues, it's likely you need to go leaner, not richer. If you crank the PMS out, it'll make richer not leaner.

I'd follow what RK and Curt said first. See how that goes and then do some WOT testing to see where you're set up at.

Have fun.
Ratl.
