This is to big of a coincidence after I told you I had carbs in the bedroom to play with.

If you've been in my garage then I have a better idea of what may have happened :!:

Hi Adam
That is weird stuff in the float bowl.

My Lammie started and ran just fine this weekend (Murco regular lead free + rockoil Synthesis at 3%)
Pretty much used that fuel and oil for the past three years.
But I will take a look in the float bowl later and report my findings on this thread.

Who'd have thought this was going on ehhh?

Btw is the forum clock wrong?

Indeed WTF Fuel...... There is talk here in USA of going
to 15% Ethanol :shock: Bad enough with 10% right now,
but at 15% I'm done :( Petrol stations putting in new
tanks to deal with the increased dreaded Ethanol increase.
Enjoy your scooters while you can , the powers that be are
determined to be rid of us :shock: :( G.

:(

And cars that now drive you to your destination or reverse park for you!

Those of us that want to tinker are going to have to go and live in the Bad Lands / Rad Lands and live like Mad Max, whilst 'society' moves on and takes away responsibility from the individual!!!

50 Shades of Grey sounded like fun... until it became the reality of modern life... grey people in a grey world!

Yes.. Adam we are the only ones left who want to live life to the
full and get out on the open road and enjoy the ride, everyone
else has swallowed the Kool aid and is happy to let a computer
dictate their lives........ :( My T shirt this summer will read
"death to mediocrity' G.

Carbs have a high magnesium(or some such thing) level in the alloy. Perhaps that might be the issue.

Can still get 110 octane unleaded down the road, from the pump no less :shock: . Gotta luv the south ;)
