[QUOTE="derrick woods, post: 230513, member: 6057"] So I've been seeing this a whole lot more lately I go to fire up my 81 last night and I noticed I'm down on one cylinder. This will be the second time this has happened check the fuel bowls and one is barely got any in it so I pull the carburetors off and there is algae building in the fuel system now. I've seen this before with some of the other bikes I restored but not this much, I ride year-round so my bikes never sit more than 3 weeks at a time. But I've been noticing algae building in the carbs more frequently this happened on an old GMC pickup I had and it was so bad the float would hang on the buildup,i always use pure gas I never let them sit. Pull the carburetors off they'll be algae in the screens every time my GL 1000 same thing. Has anyone else been noticing this problem lately? Is our fuel so bad now that not only do we have to fight ethanol we now have to fight red algae [/QUOTE]
