On sale, this stuff should run about $10-12 total.
1.) It's expensive.
2.) It's REALLY expensive.
3.) Carb rebuilds are more than #1 & #2 combined several times.
What for?
Two cans of Tru-Fuel 50:1 small power equipment premix.
If I were storing a bike for the winter, I would run all the fuel out of the tank and the bike until it stopped.
Then, I'd pour in the Tru-fuel. Next, I'd crank and run the bike for at least 5 minutes to make sure it's fully
distributed in the fuel system. The synthetic oil in the gas won't hurt a thing and might even prevent corrosion
on valve stems, etc... The fuel itself is high octane and contains zero alcohol.
It's also got a shelf life once opened of way longer than any winter your bike will see.
I had some in a Homelite saw that got shelved after I bought a Stihl Farm Boss.
4 months later, I needed to cut a slightly rotten pecan limb for a neighbor
and didn't want to break out the big saw.
I primed the Homelite, pulled it through a few times and it fired right up and ran normally.
Tru Fuel can be bought in 40:1 and 50:1 mixes at auto parts stores, hardware stores, Lowe's Home Depot and Walmart.
My $0.02 worth.
