[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 8542, member: 98"] some yrs ago i left home to play music onthe road and was gone almost a yr and when i got home i discovered that my bike full of gas ...fuel left on ....and bike leaning on the side stand just about everything you could do wong and then let it sit .....from this i leard that gas can fill up the entire crankcase ...gum up all the carbs ....distory your exhast system....and diffutly not run...it was a geat class on all the info ive been posting ....some times out of dumbness theres a good side .....this was a long time before i knew anything about computers or goldwing forums so i blindly tried things to get my bike to run and i can tell you it took a long time for me to though the class and my bike running again but most of the stuff i figure out i still do today ..... yes the cruise ma jigger would be fine to use idont have one :cheeky: in my case of stupidity this process took along time days ithink before i decided to add ATF to the gas ....im not a real smart man by worldly standards i was just throwing everything i could think of or had around to get my bike running feeling stupid the whole time. the rpm was the only way i could get it to run..... the scew twisting was the only thing i could think of... and the temp thing was after all this stupidity i didnt want to melt it down.... after a while i could exactaly here stuff or gunk going though the motor ..... after some days i actuly got to the point i could go for a ride not a great one but with continual use of ATF it came back to life and as you said i got to know my bike and this led to even more insight.... its a good feeling to me to pass this experience on in such a way that its a good experience to others ...
