Heck of a ride. Only in my youth. Millington, TN to Shokan, NY on an 83 650 Nighthawk. No idea how far it was. Not even a windshield on it. Still my best run. So long ago.

You'd think the whole Bosch lineup would be the same. I've got 3300 here and though I didn't disect it, looks way different inside with a flashlight. This is the recent change. Previous batch I got was different again. 🙄😡 Now GM PF64 filters are changing/ not available. Getting sick of this.

Bought a new 24 Chevy Trax. Got 1 complimentary oil change. I do almost all my own work on cars, motorcycles, etc. Wasn't going to use it, dealer is an hour away. It's free, so to the Chevy dealer I went. They overfilled the oil by more than a quart as near as I can figure. Its a known...

Agreed. aquired a generator prior to my use of MIB. I removed the carb, cleaned, and now it's running. Keep in mind that in doing that, you'll be lucky if you don't at least need a new bowl gasket like I did. I'm convinced MIB would have worked. Would have been MUCH easier too, I swear they put...

For me, it seems to work best at rejuvenating hard diaphragms in 2 stroke carbs. Has rubber conditioners in it as well. Good for the rubber tip of the needle valve.

I really don't know what I'd do if I bought a new Honda. So used to these charts for Hondas.

Mechanic in a Bottle really works. For $8 at Wally World what have you got to lose? Brought 2 of my old 2 strokes back to life this year. Remove all old gas, pour it in straight, let it sit 4 hours to overnight, drain it all out, won't run on MIB, fresh gas, and it'll start.

Today was my 30 some years old Homelite chainsaws turn. Ran last year, weak, didn't rev well, didn't like being angled for tree dropping. Wouldn't start today. Added the recommended amount Of MIB, primed it through, pulled rope a few times and let it sit for 4 hours. Tried starting it, took...

Actually, the best around here. All the rest are higher except Sheetz E15.

Today, Millersburg, PA. Marathon, Top Tier.

XX was other worldly. Mine was a 98, did an ignition advancer, jetted, etc. Took it from 134 RWHP to just short of 150 RWHP. Took it to 180 MPH WAY too many times, amazing I'm still here. Slowing down now in my old age.

Thought this was the year for a new one. 32 year old Homelite didn't want to start. Some straight Mechanic in a bottle to the carb and it started! I figure the carb. diaphragms are getting stiff. See how many more years it'll go. Really is a work horse.

650, then right to the biggest, fastest. Now dropping back down in displacement.

Here's my 2 cents. Homelite string trimmer, 30 years old, had since new. This is the year it won't start. E0 gas, Stabil Marine, and 2 stroke oil. Figured that's it, the diaphragms are finally done, got stiff, time for a carb rebuild. Then I remembered I had Mechanic in a bottle. Dumped the...

I'm going to have to get back there and get pics of the pumps.
