  1. Thanks. Looks like the aspen fuel is only in the UK. Guess I will have to keep cleaning carbs till something changes. I have heard putting a mixture of diesel I. With gas help from breaking down. But the source it came from was not too credible. So will have to keep researching. I have tried fuel stabilizers and they work for a little while. But not several months.

    we are a dealer for it up here in manitoba. Surprised small engine shops in the U.S. don't carry it. It is pricey but saves on any fuel system repairs or downtime. Our local fire departments use it as they can't chance something not starting or running properly when they are out on a call

  3. I used to have an aftermarket bike shop till I sold it in 2013. this was a bike we had worked on for a customer, he ended up in prison and we were stuck with the bike.. called his wife to see what she wanted to do and she politely said she didn't give a damn what we did with it that if we expected her to pay the bill that we could kiss her ass cause he left her with enough . needless to say we were stuck with it.. bike was ruff with rust broken this broken that but it ran like a champ, that's what he wanted was get it running he fix the rest. so instead of fixing it up to sell I did the abandoned title to take legal possession of it and it became our engine donor... that was 10 years ago and it still runs like a champ bout every 6 months or so got to clean carbs from this ethanol crap building up cause we don't drive it enough.. decided to get it out clean up and rebuild the bed and make couple rat rod shows coming up here pretty soon...

    Ever hear of aspen fuel? Will eliminate all your carb issues. Shelf life of five years And if it does dry up leaves nothing behind to plug up jets.

  4. Owned quad for about ten years now and it had a very hard life before me. Last fall went through crank and bored out cylinders to run 66mm wossner Pistons. Used proper engine gaskets for large bore. Stock timing, head, carbs. Pc pipes and midrange porting. Rode about 6 tanks and seized mag side crank bearing. Bearing piled up so hard it pushed crank apart. Upon closer look my Pistons are hitting stock factory head right at edge of squish band. I'd like any suggestions on how to properly modify a replacement head and approximately what it would cost. Thanks.
