VST filter
It wasn't as easy as this guy made it look but was doable
Got her all back together and it ran like crap...
Changed out all the other filters and cleaned the injectors,,, ba bamb,,, running like a top
I think changing out the vst sent some gunk down stream to the injectors, I think running the engine b 4 cleaning the injectors was a smart move without knowing it,,, sop for this mech  |

Typical VST Gup. Once you get it right you are good but you will be chasing this assache for a bit.

Gup, Check your pickup into your tank.. The backflow check ball on mine had all crystals kind of like sand from the ethanol fuel gumming it up so it didn't function correctly. Was bogging down, couldn't go fast. Once I changed it up was fine.

Phew!
Finally up and running , I pulled the pick up from the tank, got rid of the anti siphon, sent the injectors out, all back together, runs like a top! :-)
Even caught an Alby on her test run...
Thanks Jeff on the heads up on the pickup...

I am a bit amazed that, with all the talk about the damage ethanol does, you guys don't run additives to combat the problem.
I ran Yamaha Ring Free up until this year. I switched over to Fuel Ox and have never looked back.

Paul, I've run this engine for over 1000 hrs. And have never missed a stable or ring free with each fill up,,, never! And that goes for fresh water 10 min. Idle flush out.... Twice a year filters and plugs,,,
Two of the injectors condition was poor... I dun no ! 
Check this out, one to two day turn around

best thing you can do is run Star Tron... it solves a lot of every day ethanol related problems... and is a stabilizer as well...
anti siphon valves have been a problem long before we had ethanol... and it's the last thing most tech's check...
glad you're all set... |
A good run is better than a bad stand!
