    No

    Not so, I wash out the inside of my motor with gas every so often just to make sure it clean in there

      Hey don't laugh, that works. Kerosene is a bit better, kinda like that majic 5 minute motor flush crap.

        Back in the day

        I know, back in the day, we would buy old cars with gunked up motors, then fill the crankcase with Kerosene, let her idle for a while, pour a quart of water down the carb while keeping her running with one hand on the gas linkage to steam clean the top half I have to admit, that clean oil that mixed with gas in my bike didn't come out clean anymore, it cleaned something out of the motor

          Yep, my motor is nice and clean, I've had those fuel problems too. I think I'm gonna get an octy substitute like this one...

                Yeah but this is single inline per petcock AND new, and doesn't add 7 more lines, but who woulda thought that the aftermarket would have come out with their own Octy .

                  I'll only need one per bike, I run single tap setup on both my XS. I know it will work correctly the first time.
