It's been about six weeks since I serviced the fuel systom. ( Fuel Screens petcock etc.)After months of the motor cutting out at high speed and under load, plus the usual hic-cup around 3000rpm I have to say the bike is running flawless!
The slight hesitation, stutter, was still there after the service but decided that was probably something that I had to live with -seeing I have noticed a lot of owners on this forum experiencing the same thing.
Until one day a few weeks ago I was looking at the screens and petcock strainer that I had removed from my bike. They were clogged with a flacky brown substance and could not even shine a light thru them.
For the heck of it, I tried scrubbing the screens with a toothbrush,gas,airgun,brake cleaner, and gun scrubber nothing worked.
I then took the screens and put them in a bowl filled with Gumout Xtra Fuel Inj cleaner and let sit for a few days.
I looked at the bowl and could see it had turned murkey gray/brown.
When I took out the screens I was amazed to see they not only looked like new they looked better then the replacement screens I put in the bike,,,,They looked like someone polished the brass!
I then decided to give this a try running thru the bike.
It says to use 12oz for about 21 gallons of gas.
So as you can figure I broke the bottle down four ways and am now on my four tank of gas.
The hesitation and hic-up is completely gone.
No stumble what so ever.
It is so smooth running up thru the gears it feels like a electric rocket!
Just thought I would pass this info on to the forum and Good Luck!!
