    Berrymans B12 testing

    I was curious to know if prolonged exposure to the sauce would harm the composite float material. I had a spare float and weighed it down then covered it with berrymans full strength from the can. Let it soak submerged for 24 hours without even the slightest harm to the float. Guess it can be used with confidence at strong doses

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Cipher. Was thinking along the lines of how strong a dose could be used for the first spring tabk of gas to freshen carbs up. So apparently you can nake it as hot as you want. Heck you could even just fil carbs full and let soak a while then drain before addibg fuel if you really wanted to get radical with them.

            Hmmm, ok...now what about the o-rings & plunger seals? They may suffer big time...

                Sorry, I'm assuming he's storing for the winter. The seafoam comments are what led me to believe that. My bad.
