Motorcycle Carburetor System - If your motorcycle has a carburetor, this is a very important step. In just a few short months, the jets on your carburetor can become gummed up.
This will result in unnecessary dollars spent in repair bills, or time spent by the rider in the garage working instead of riding.
Fortunately there are a few things that can be done that do not require huge efforts to eliminate this.
The first is to add fuel stabilizer to your gas tank. Next you will shut off the fuel valve.
This will stop the flow of fuel to the carburetor. By starting the engine and running it until it shuts down on its own, you will have run all the fuel out of the carburetor.
This is the simplest solution to this potential problem.
If your motorcycle is fuel injected, add the stabilizer to the gas tank and run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the treated fuel through the injectors.
Stabilize your fuel. This is very important! Stale fuel forms varnish and sludge deposits that clog injectors, fuel lines and carburetors.
Often people wonder why their bike started fine when they put it away and come spring, it will not start. The answer is invariably stale Carburetor Seat fuel.
