Riding yesterday... Noticed that on DEcelleration (gearing down), that I'm getting some light backfires from the pipes...
Later they also became noticable when holding a 2500-3000-rpm gate in the lower gears.... Guessing this is because of a too lean mix or fouling plug(s).
I am now forced to use this BS 10% ethonal mix fuel...
can't find any fuel in my part of the world anymore that doesn't have it in there, and I'm still concerned that ethenol use is causing problems already...
Could this be solved by a simple 1/2 turn out or so on the a/f screws, and a resync?...or possible time for the peashooter/shotgun? The pipes look clean..nice grey color.
Wondering if there's any known additive to the fuel that would help overcome the negative effects of ethanol on the whole fuel system... I have been adding a couple oz's of Seafoam to every tankful, but it ain't helping much anymore.
Thanks, Philthy
