Grrreeeeaaaat come back!!! I especially liked the part about the (wet thingy). Ya know, there is only one tool needed for that...and its not metric [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Seriously though, if you rode a tank and a 1/2 of gas through it I think that the antifreeze is pretty much out of the system. I would replace the plugs though, they don't work well with antifreeze and may be shot. Other then that I doubt that your problem has anything to do with the antifreeze. Maybe a tight intake valve (no, seriously)...which will require the help of a skilled professional (still serious...sort of) or you need special tools to do the job yourself.

No one has said if it has done anything to the muffler.....I'm not sure if it will or not.



The stuff the guy is spraying into your filter is starting fluid........don't use this if you can help it. the stuff is very flammable, and too much can melt your motor down.......
