stockridinshee Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 what do you guys think of running fuel injector cleaner in the shee? would it hurt it at all? ive never heard of it being ran in 2 strokes for obvious reasons (no fuel injectors) but i think it would just clean everything, carbs, reeds, intake, pistons. everything.

Hilarious Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 I wouldnt run a damn thing but premix thru my banshee. If I wanted to clean the carburators, they can be removed with just a screwdriver. I wouldnt do it if I was you. Quote
BigRed350x Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 i ran some of that carb cleaner stuff, not the injector, and it didn't do anything to performance or life of the machine. Didn't notice any difference at all. Didn't clean the carb either though. Quote

2twin350s Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 fuel injector cleaner will eat up anything plastic in your bike.REEDS,ETC. DO NOT DO IT!!! Quote
hamuel Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 I would like to point out new cars have plastic tanks plastic lines and well every thing else is basicly made of plastic. the o-ring seals on the injectors are rubber sorry but close enought. Quote

strokersquid Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 ive done it several times but i stopped because i didnt notice much difference. i doubt youd lean the mixture much at 1 oz per gallon since this stuff is flammable although not high octane. its quite hard to separate out the premix since all oils worth anything stay mixed these days quite well. all said however i doubt you'd see much difference in performance unless the carbs were really gummed up and then you should take them off anyways to clean them Quote
