Hi All,

Is it ok to use a fuel additive to clean a carb on a two stroke? (The bike has an automatic fuel/two stroke oil mixing system)

If so, what is the best brand to use.

Thanks

gull ethanol, or a 15% mix of biodiesel.

Wasting your time. Screwdriver & 20min of your time to blow through the jets is the only answer.

the question is what is the question?

While a fuel additive couldn't hurt...a strip down and clean will ENSURE the carb gets properly cleaned out :yes:...and you can set the floats etc while your at it:niceone:

While a fule additive couldn't hurt.Less gas, same amount of air, lean mixture, hole in piston.
