i have had a bunch of people, bike shops and non bike shops tell me that jet fuel added to you gas can help clean the carbs a little, is this true????

 

I found this info on jet fuel. Thought it might help.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel

 

jet fuel is refined kerosene... kerosene is refined diesel...

 

Ummmmmm NO never put that in your bike. You will lose power even using race gas. Unless you have a motor built for it.

 

Don't ever talk to those people ever again.[sm=badidea.gif]

 

very, very bad idea...

 

ok well what about sea foam, the bike runs great but wants to sputter at high rpms, every place around here wants 600 plus to clean the carbs but i don't think they can be that bad if it runs good, ideals good takes off great but sputters at high revs, the place i went to satyrday wanted 850 to do them... i don't feel mechanically inclined to tackle it myself or is it easier than i am being told......will seafoam work, or am i screwed????

 

If it's sputtering, you should clean them out with carb cleaner, and lots of it. removal and installation is easy enough.

 

You can use Sea Foam to clean the carbs....

I use it every now and again in my truck and m/c. I also use to just before and oil change in both.
here is a thread that talks about it https://cbrforum.com/m_105946/tm.htm
Good Luck.

 

Well about the only time you could use it would be to winterize your bike. Normal gas you buy at the pump breaks down after about 6 weeks. Jet fuel or avation gas will not deteroriate and will stay good in your tank throughout the winter. Is it one way to winterize your bike? Yes. Have to ask yourself is a $3.00 bottle stabil as good? For the cost and what it will do? Defintely. You would have to drain your tank and carbs if you used av-gas for the winter.
