ok guys I did a bonehead move the other day.
Was goign to go out and play for a bit and loaded up my ols metal army 5 gal gas cans and filled tehm up with fuel. Rode all day and then when we were done instead of pumping gas at the stattion since i just bought that fuel in the mornign i dumped in about 3 -4 gals. Well thought all was well until i took it out today. ran great for about a half a tank and then started cutting out at various speeds. trailered it up shortly after and now am debating on what needs to be done.
I pulled the fuel filter and it was why i remebered the gas can and thought it was rust! had a lot of foating setaments and was rust colored!
I thought i would ask the expert what I need to do to get the problem solved!!
Can i just siphon out all the gas and put in fresh gas then run a bit of carb cleaner through the carbs?? (on the fresh gas???)
Or do I need to take out the tank completly to get out an debis and then also have the carbs rebuilt/cleaned.
I also thoguht about running a Br7es in place of teh 8 to run a bit hotter and maybe burn through this stuff better???
thanks in advance!!
