    anyone ever heard of

    Has anyone ever heard of running some laquer thinner in tank to clean out crud? A guy came into the bike shop my bros own and told us abou t doing this , in thought maybe but do you think it would do more harm than good. Just a question.

    Is that like paint thinner? Or just "Laquer thinner"???
    Sounds like it would be hard to get out afterwards...

      Laquer thinner

      since gas has laquer in it the laquer thinner thins it down and burns out with the gas. the guy said it runs and spits and spudders but after better power than he has ever had.

        I've used cellulose thinners to clean the laquer and crystalline deposits out of float bowls on bikes that've stood a long while, but I've never found it necessary to clean the tank. A decent in-line filter will catch any crud from there. The problem with laquer in the float bowls is that the fresh fuel can soften it and it block your jets. Don't put your plastic floats in it though, just the bowls!
