[David Shugars]

I'm a skeptic about whether or not this works as advertised, but a buddy said that a snowmobile magazine gave it high marks. Has anyone tried it? http://www.fitchfuelcatalyst.com David A18 MI __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/

I am also a skeptic. I followed the product finder for these options: Drag Bike Outboard motor boat Road Race/Flat Track Motorcycles Snowmobile, ATV Jetski, Motocross Street Bike I did not follow every single model, but it sure looks like they *all* end up at "Part No: F5T". That seems odd since it clearly makes it look like there are different options. For example, under the outboard motor option there is: 75 - 125 HP &/or 11 - 20 gallon fuel tank And: Under 75 HP - under 10 gallon fuel tank And yet, they both go to the F5T. This is enough for me to conclude that this is a total scam. I will leave it to the chemical experts to look at the scientific claims on the site. -- Doug Herr doug@...

Yes, its the balancer shaft bearing. The balancer shaft bearing housing on right side of lower case is torn. Will wait for clymer service manual to read & learn more before taking engine out & take it all apart for first time. thanks, Kenneth --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "James L. Miller Jr. wrote:
