[dsn_klr650] fuel injector cleaner for keeping carb clean.
just thought id pass this tidbit to ya....racers do exactly that...its
called a "cool can"...usually its a coffee can with copper line running
thru it,packed full of ice...regular ice. Im sure dry ice would freeze the
gas...well not positive it would freeze it..perhaps not if it was
moving(the gas), say in the pits right b4 you head for the line.
