A Few months back i recieved a garbage can full of oils,fuel stabilizers n the like.In it was a product called startup.I put some in a neighbors 4 wheeler and it made an immediate permanent difference.I mean from stalling n not starting n running like crap.
So a fella walks into my work at Advance Auto parts.Tells me he got this bike won't start,we get talking,Long of the short i sold him this Product Startup ,it is for bringing machines out of storage,springtime formula n the like.
The bike is a pretty nice 93 Yamaha FZR 600R period yoshi pipe n headers k&n oval pods that cover 2 carbs each., he payed 650 for it, pretty nice condition.
He comes back the next day says it won't start i sell him a battery 2 sets o plugs oil n filter.I offer to work on it on saturday for a 12 pack and a 50.
Saturday i show up.All tools in hand for carb sync n anything else.
He had drained the gas tank,put the product in,and about 1/2 gallon of gas.1-2 inches in the tank lol.we go get gas.
Get back,put 1/2 tankfull in her,mind u this treats like 5 gallons i think.
I tell him chances are we need to strip n dip the carbs and for that i need 100 bux including the dip.
So i proceed to drain the float bowls and it is like maple syrup in there,cycle the key to run the pump until it runs clean n clear,Spray carb cleaner into the air jets, then let it sit as i change plugs, attach battery, change the oil.The GS is way easier to work on,wow.
So after 1 hour of doing this maintenance i hit the start button,cough sputter fart and omg vrooooooooom.
Some black smoke bellows n it idles.Has a flat spot 1/4 throttle.ok it needs a sync i think?
I let it warm up ,throttle it a few times the smoke dissipates.Another hour and it is all back together throw a plate on it and head down the road and it runs ok.
2-3 miles later i hit the gas station finish filling it up go in and pay.
I come out,jump on to head back,it fires up and now idleing so sweet.I head up the road n lay right into it to redline n it's a ROCKET!!!!!! no flat spot.I take the long way home n this thing corners nice and it was fun to ride.
Get back put the gauges on n it is spot on,Do plug chops it is tuned perfect.
This little $10 can of Startup brought back a 6 year sitting bad gas bike without having to strip n dip these carbs,AMAZING.
I am thinking wow this thing is quick,I get on my bike to ride home and think to myself,wow my old GS 1150 with 1100 engine really is faster hehe,and with a smile on my face a 50 in my pocket,a lost friendship from gradeschool revived and a 12 pack, i ride home and start my birthday weekend.
Startup is the elixer of the gods for bike been sitting,try it before doing a strip n dip.
