lol not worth catching it. probably just sea foam.

 

lol i meant so it doesnt cover the bike not to re-use, us brits aren't that tight with cash

 

obviously it would be not such a great idea to drain them on a hot motor

 

LOL sorry! Didnt mean to say it like that!!! Us Chicagoans are quite the penny pinchers haha but thanks for all the input, just want the thing to finally run...lol it sucks because it happened the same day i changed the oil
such a waste...

Thank
Tom

 

Hey man didn't see it mentioned here so I thought I would bring up changing the plugs. Using a lot of Seafoam has no ill effects on the bike itself but can foul the plugs up pretty bad, they will probably come out white.
I'm in Chicago as well so let me know if you ever need help wrenching.

 

hey buck83. thanks for that, ill check out the plugs also, that could be also. i rode it to work this morning, and of course, after work, she did not start AGAIN!!!!! =/

 

Too much Seafoam can clog the jets from the dirt and debris sitting in the lines, tanks and carbs. It will definately loosen dirt and cause it to float into harms way. I NEVER use more than a half a can between two fill-ups, also I use a inline fuel filter too. Too much can be harmful with the internals of the bike, fuel, carbs, etc.
I say try a full tank of fuel and new plugs, also a good carb cleaning and you will fire right up.

 

keep going fella, it will be worth it in the end. i finally got to take my bike out after a complete rebuild and it was all worth it !

 

lol the bike runs now perfectly fine, starts up and everything. that was so frustrating, never using sea foam again. lol

 

I think Seafoam is ok to use as long as you don't go way overboard. I bought a can of it the other day and it says it will treat 8-25 gallons. I mixed 1/2 can of it in 4 gallons of 91 octane fuel in my 1000RR and if it ever stops raining I will see how it runs.
