    We have several feeders. Anywhere from two to thirty birds. Fun to watch. They will come right up to me now. Hover in the air and look me over.

    I use the Berryman's and usually mix a little Marvel Mystery oil with it. Don't know if it helps but I have heard that Berryman's is a little harsh if you use it strong so it makes me feel better.

    Hope it heals good for you.

    I've been using Castrol 20/50 for 45 years and never had a oil related problem. Not a Motorcycle oil but it has no Friction Modifiers. Still less than 3 bucks a quart. Use what you feel good with. My wallet feels good with Castrol and it is easy to find. I am firmly convinced it is not the high dollar oils that are needed for these things but use a good oil without friction modifiers and change it when you should.

    I think you got the right plan. A can of Sea-Foam with that 1st tank on the road could help a lot.

    Thats a bad one. Prayers sent.

    I see how it works! A couple of shots and you don't care if the bike runs or not!!!

    You got a ways to go on that one!!! If I ever get my shop set up I will be doing some 1st Gens.

    I was Deer hunting one time when I drew a bead on a nice buck. Pulled the trigger on my Rem 300 Savage and got a "CLICK" Dropped it down turned it over on its side to look down at the action and "Bam!!" It came from a new box of Remington Ammo. Still like to know where that Buck went. At least a 10 pointer!!

    Never thought of that Squeeze. Good Idea!! I'm getting ready to buy one of the Ultra-Sonic cleaners big enough to dip one carb at a time. I'll try it in it maybe.

    I wouldn't do this as a rule but if caught up in the scene as you were.........??? I would be tempted to do as you did but hop off at the next exit and hope people would understand that sitting in line on a bike is a little different than in a cage with A/C.

    My cost on these ingredients Sea_Foam about $52.00 a gallon Marvel Mystery Oil little less than 4 bucks a quart. Camp Fuel about 8 bucks a Gallon BerryMan's Chem Tech 3 bucks 12 oz can. Sea-Foam is a great product and I know all about the cost of oil. But If I can come up with something that will do the job cheaper I will quit being a spokesman for them. My biggest fear was using something that would be too harsh on the seals and rubber pieces in the carbs.

    I think it will be a long time before we realize the full effects of this mess Boomer. Take care of yourself.

    Get up out of your chair go to your bathroom and look over the sink........... but be careful sometimes the shock of what you find there is hard to handle early in the morning!!!!!:rotfl: Don't worry the Warden has put so many knots on my head lately you would have to wait for some to go down before you could add one!!

    This was what I was digging at Bob. I have bit my tongue and pulled my fingers back. Most of the answers have helped me with what I was looking for. Great answers as usual on here. I'm thinking a mixture of Camp Fuel and Marverl Mystery oil would make a great working cleaner to use in the shop. Didn't want anything that would be to harsh on the seals and rubber parts. With the price of Sea-Foam save it and do as Don (and I)do and use it in the Spring or to store it for winter. But I used it any time bike acted up during the year. Seems my area is full of people that sell dirty gas. Just trying to save a few bucks. That retirement check is hard to get used to. Thanks to Those with the great answers as always. And I won't waste my time responding to others.

    All of my bikes were Standards but the last two and they are still running and working I think but I'll look thru stuff. I have a few parts.
  20. Yammer Dan
    My mixture of Marvel Mystery oil and Camp Fuel should be a good cleaner then. Need to add a little Isopropyl Alcohol maybe.

    You know if you sneak out in the wee hrs of the morning you don't have to Clean Up!! I been doing housework for 3 weeks or is it years????

    Now that Shirley ain't lost???

    What is the lube?? Camp Fuel and a good shot of Marvel Mystery Oil?? Sound close? Thats what I have been mixing along with a little Berrymans Chem Tech. Little of this little of that....

    Hope it goes quick for you Mini!!

    Anyone got any info on the facts that Camp Fuel has the same ingredients as Sea-Foam? Tried to ask this question at Maint Day and didn't care much for answer I got so I'll take it to the experts. If Camp Fuel has the same ingredients as Sea-Foam what is it missing? Could we make up a cheaper Sea-Foam? We don't have the 44 stuff around here and I really don't want to know about it. I have found Sea-Foam to be some great stuff but they are pricing themselves out of the market or at least my pocketbook. But I bought a gallon this spring. I have been mixing things to try to come up with something that works as good but little afraid of some of the harsher ones. Any Ideas???
