    Running the product is fine, but where I was loading and unloading sucked. Lots of Midlothian/Gerdau that delivered 2 to places, 1 in Grand Prairie and 1 in Rhome (DFW area) so I was spending 14-16hrs a day running like 150mi.

    It was exhausting.

    Just relaxing at a busy Loves south of Milwaukee tonight. Got plenty of data for my video game. Nice little break from the rat race.

    Sounds like the lazy bass turds at some of those NE Ark. steel plants.

    Don't gotta worry about me fightin over those loads. I about ended up in jail the last time I was out there.

    Fricking carburetors. Price of loving old iron I guess.

    If it was me I would run only premium fuel (no ethanol in western Canada) and dose each tank with Sta-bil if you are going to park for more than overnight.
    Shut off your tank valve while running and let the carbs run out to stall the engine every night.
    Drain your tank when parking for the winter after doing the above.

    I normally do that but I dropped the ball last year and didn't. My own fault. I got it all cleaned tonight, tomorrow I'm putting the stock jets back in and putting the bike back together.

    I also had to clean the carb on my mower. Ran flawless for 5 minutes, changed oil and then it wouldn't start. Dipped it in the tank for 10 minutes, put it back together and the mower started right up.

    We just got rec.90 locally last year. Non-Ethanol off road. Seems to do much better in my fleet of stuff. I suspect I got some water in a gas can and kids wheeler is down and out. My major job this weekend.
