When it became too snowy cold icy to ride the bike was put up for a few months. I poured half a can of Seafoam in the nearly empty tank, ran the bike until I was sure there was Seafoam/gas in the carbs, shut it down and filled the tank with fresh gas. Three months later the battery came out of storage (where it had been charged occasionally) and was installed. The bike fired up and is running better than when I put it away.

Seafoam is good stuff.

That's classic, LOL... funny thing is, I've always been very skeptic about using 'flush fluids', but after trying Seafoam for the first time I just had to change my opinion.
But as SF isn't available in Europe (except for one or two retailers in the UK, but they don't ship abroad anymore), I tried something else to flush my bike; Wynn's fuel system cleaner.
I read the back but it didn't disclose much info; main ingredient seems to be kerosene (jet fuel, LOL).
I've put some in both my bikes and cars fuel tanks (they were both only half full, so I could easily use one bottle for both rides), driven both today.
It was noticeable in the car, started to idle a bit smoother, felt better almost right away.
Then I took the bike out, and after some stuttering it just flew!
So that's one more additive/cleaner I can now trust to do what it says on the back of the bottle

That's what I usually do. I do it to all the bikes. They always seem to start, so I can't complain.

Well thank ya kindly young sir. I'd never have thought of looking there.
Now I know what the can looks like I'll see if they have it in Wallmart over here too.
One question though....... where do you inject the Bug-b-gone stuff?
