Platinum Boarder Posts: 1705 Re:carb problem ? 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Time for a can of Seafoam in the tank. Run it for a couple of minutes, let it sit a day and then see if it will run w/out the choke. If so, take it out and run the heck out of it.   Logged     2006 Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #228430 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:carb problem ? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   BigBoyinMS wrote: Time for a can of Seafoam in the tank.

And after you run a full can of Seafoam through a tank of gas, you MUST change oil & filter...it'll be black & toxic with all the crap the Seafoam cleaned out of your engine and dumped into the oil.

If these systems generally mingle there would be gas in the oil or smoke in the exhaust, or am I missing something here?   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #228449 ROSSETAW (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 23 Re:carb problem ? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   talk to roadkill on that im just running the seafoam in the gas and going with that   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #228452 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:carb problem ? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   If the valves are all Carboned up , the seafoam will break it up and some of it will get into the oil. I know from personal experience. Even the bottle of ringfree (from the mothership...) has those same instructions on it IF using as a "shock treatment" (the whole bottle in one tank of gas...). What little does get by (off the cylinder walls) really crud's up oil.

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.   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #228477 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12515 Re:carb problem ? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Try draining your float bowl as well there may be crud settled in the bottom of it if you have let it set for any amount of time or even water. The gas we get now days sucks. If that doesn't help then do the sea foam.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
