stabil or not i'd never fire my sled after sitting over the summer without draining and adding fresh fuel, why would you want to chance a rebuild over $20 worth of fuel???

Hey, Mountainhorse. Another useful thread, thanks. Where does one send injectors to be cleaned/checked? It's not like "injector cleaning" is in the yellow pages.
I put stabil in and start it up every month in the summer. Then I drain all the gas in the tank and put in fresh gas before the first ride.
Has anyone ever used an ethanol fuel treatment?
You can still get 91 oct sans Ethanol here in WI. But only at certain gas stations.I use this..
And this..
Here in SD I think it's nearly impossible to find anything at the pump without some level of Ethanol in it. Could have swore that it's a Federal thing now that all gas at the pumps have at least a small % of Ethanol??
2 years ago I tore apart some carbs that sat from April-June and there was green stuff already growing on the mains. Premium gas every chance I get....

IMO, its not a good procedure to start the engine over the summer. Not for the fact of bad fuel but the fact of condensation from the air entering the engine and becoming trapped. This will cause rust or corrosion. Its better to have a full tank of fuel, Use a stabilizer (its not that expensive), Run the engine til the stabilizer gets through all the lines, Shut the fuel line off if possible, Fog the engine until it shuts off, spray some fogging oil down the spark plug holes and turn it over a few times, let it sit until you are going to ride again, then empty the tank and put fresh fuel in it.
