Screw it.

I used Techron a long time ago. Need to revisit it. As I have said Sea-Foam is great at times. I do think using it regularly keeps a lot of problems away. But it is not the only cleaner I use mainly because it has gotten so costly. My shop has Sea-Foam, BerryMan's Chem Tech, Marvel Mystery Oil, Star Tron and probally a couple others maybe some old Techron in there. My point has always been use as needed. I use Sea-Foam several times a year because I think it prevents problems. Use what ever you feel safe using. Some cleaners will ruin your carbs.

Jumping out of planes is a blast!!! Usually not dodging other planes on the way down!! LOL You are right Brian. Good thing we have choices. I just can never see me lane splitting. We get enough bad press without asking for more and every body knows about those folks on the west coast.LOL

I live with the same fear. And the Yard Sale of 1st Gen parts she claims she is going to have!!!

Gotta be Awlsome!!

Better luck next time Charlie!!

Just because he is a idiot doesn't mean I have to be.

Sea-Foam?? Look at thread for Sea-Foam soak.

Well I was thinking about it but..... One of these days I'm gonna tell her where I hid that phone.

You can get that old?? Have a Great one Don!!

Tow Ropes and 2nd Gens.... Another try at keeping up with the 1st Gens??

You wouldn't keep the Best bike???

What is that white stuff?? I've forgotten....

Then that RSV would be in a Raffle....

Hard night at the gym tonight. I don't have trouble staying away from food if I get up and just don't eat. But once I start I can't stop. I eat!! and EAT. And EAT!!

Good point. Draining and refilling would make restart easier. I do that at time but not always. And at time I'll use a can of Deep Creep onthem after I get it restarted. The reason I add gas is to make it easier restarting. They don't like to crank on pure Sea-Foam. But the soak is the best Tune-Up tip I know of on these things.

What the hell is Free Time??

Gone to texas!!

I thought I was but Dad used to take these fishing trips to Canada......

What Bob said!!:rotfl: Good Luck!!

I do that once in a while Charlie. It helps at times. My soak is for neglected carbs.

:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: And the battery is a Die-Hard!!

A good soak will cure "most" carb problems. Here we go again. You will need: Sea-Foam: :Piece of fuel line about 18 inches long same size as on rear of fuel pump. About any cheap line will do. :1/2 Pint or so of fresh gas: :Set of small vise grips :Screwdriver to open drain plugs on carbs: :Container to mix Sea-Foam and gas. Mix about 2/3s can of Sea-Foam with about 1/3 fresh gas. I have done this with pure Sea-Foam but restarting is hard. I use vice grips to close off fuel line coming from tank because those old petcocks do not like to be messed with. Deal with that later but if your petcock works good just shut it off. If not here we go. Remove side panels to get at carbs. Find rear of fuel pump. On left of bike as you are sitting on it. Clamp off line going to rear of pump and rmove from pump. PLace your piece of line in it place. Leave for now. Take screwdriver and open all drain plugs and drain as much as you can from carbs. Drain screw is on bottom right corner of carbs as you face them on bike. Hopefully you will get something out of each carb. When you have them drained close them, Place line into Sea-Foam and turn on switch. You will hear fuel pump clicking. It should suck the Sea-Foam into the carbs. Let it cycle until you think carbs are full. Start bike and let it run a few minutes. Watch your mix and don't run out. When you are sure carbs are full of mix shut bike off. Rehook everything as it was. Don't restart now. Leave it sit at least overnight. I've left them 2 or 3 days. Won't hurt a thing probally helps. Draining carbs again before restarting keeps you from running a lot of crap thru engine and will cut down on neighbor complaints. When you restart it will Cough.Smoke,Fart, Belch,Sneeze and a few other things. This has cost me a set of plugs at times. It will bring stuff out of there that will scare you. But after you get the Sea-Foam out I BET it runs better. I have done this several times on stubborn bikes. Using Sea-Foam as recommended with prevent 95 per cent of carb problems. I have used other mixes for this but Sea-Foam is safe and will not harm carbs. I use a mix of BerryMans Chem Tech, Sea-Foam and gas on really dirty ones and have used pure Chem Tech. Get it at Wally World. Don how many more times am I going to have to one finger this?? __________________
