Drain or not to drain? That is the question!
Sup guys my raptor has been sitting in the garage for about 8 months with 3/4 tank of gas. Should i drain it? Should I clean the carbs? I'm going to the shop tomarow to get a new battery and going to get her going. Anyone else use the old gas after its been sitting a long time?
I have engine mods but am kinda lazy and dont feel like listing them. |

I left 6 gallons of 2 stoke gas in my boat for 2 years. Cranked on the first turn and ran great.

Take the gas cap off and smell the gas, allot of times the gas smells ransid when it goes bad. I would attempt to run it through and if it doesn't run good, then, clean the carb.

Try BG 44K. Mix it to proper ratio if not a little light. If the mix is to heavy the gas will not burn. If any product can this will clean the carbs with out removal.

I tend to be frugal with the time used working on the quad. If a can of fix it will clean the carb, then, it will save time. It also may perform a better job than trying to clean it by hand.
I have used BG 44K on several engines and it seems to work quite well. |
