In the winter I do the exact opposite. I drain everything, including the float bowls. And leave the filler cap open so the tank dries out - not just the petrol but any water that's collected there. It always starts first prod in the spring once filled with fresh juice.
Hi guys. Apologies if this subject has been covered before. I've done a fair bit of searching but haven't found the exact answer I'm looking for.I've got a cb550 that I bought from James on here nearly two years ago. Regrettably it's been a fairly slow project so far and still isn't registered yet. (US import)I've just had the carbs refurbed by Gerben as they were in a pretty sorry state internally.Gerben has warned against the use of fuel containing ethanol but it's my understanding that all fuel is required to contain at least 5% ethanol by law now as of this year.I'm just worried that as the bike isn't being used yet that if I fit them and get the bike running that the fuel will ruin them again as it's not going to get regular use at the moment.Is draining the bowls enough to stop them gumming up?What do you good people do with your bikes fuel wise? Thanks. Luke.
