    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My 82 1100G gave me fits tonight! :twisted:

Been parked all winter and I did not do the right thing, I did not drain gas or install STA-Bil,

Got it started and it ran like Hell of course. Plugs fouled up awful, Charcoaled up!! Changed plugs, have battery on charger, Removed bowl drain plugs and sprayed carb cleaner and etc..

I put in some Sta-Bil in the remaining 2 gallons of gas, Will that stuff help now that it is already been there all winter?

Any Help appreciated.

My suggestion would be to drain the gas and then pour it into an already near-full tank in your car or truck. Since it will mix with better gas it will be diluted and will not likely cause any problems.

Fill the bike with fresh gas and add a fuel injector cleaner to both the bike and the car. Both will respond well.
:)
 
I agree. Stabil would be worthless at this point. Actually,I think it's kind of worthless at any point. All I've ever done is put a few ounces of gumout into a full tank, run the motor for a few minutes to get the cleaner into the carb, throw a cover over my bike (it sits outside for about 5 months) Haven't had a problem in 20 years.
 
I've always heard to stay away from fuel injector cleaners because they can mess up o-rings and gaskets used in carbs.

Could be. I always heard to stay away from using carb cleaner in your gas for just that reason. I always use gas treatment in a few of the first tanks of gas when i buy a new((used) bike. I would try gas treatment into some fresh gas and plugs. Take it out for a nice long ride if it will let you. If it doesnt then the carb experts will have to take over from there. Are you sure its the old gas?? I have left gas in bikes for months when i lived up north and never had that trouble.
