hughes; sadly I have only been riding once since you sent me the ring free. 2 boys that are 3-1/2, and 2 years old, the wife has some big time control on what I'm doing on the weekends.
But for me, the seasons just starting here.
Starting to cool dowm in the high deserts now.
I'm supposed to be going this weekend, but my youngest boy is sick today, and it was supossed to be a family trip this weekend.
I don't think I'll be making it again!!!
DAM IT!!! :cry:

Hughes,
Since all I run is Chevron 94 gas, I must be using the ring free without knowing it. After doing lots of streetbike touring and having problems with all kinds of gasoline, I settled on Chevron as the best (with Shell as the worst - try evaporating some in a glass jar and see what you get). It's all we run now in everything, with good results. I didn't know about the techron/ring free thing. Cam.

Hey everyone. I have to speak up again. Sorry. I was told long ago not to use chevron gas in a two-stroke because it had some sort of cleaner in it. It sure made sense to me. Lube the cylinder not clean it. Anyways Back to my original question. It sounds like castor based oils used to gum things up.
KXcam22:
RY,
That's interresting about the cleaner. It's possible that all gas (other than race gas) has some type of cleaner in it now days for fuel injection. The chevron has been great for me. Yes the castor oils do gum up the rings. Castor is a holdback to the old days where we used to rebuild the top ends way more. Watercooling, metalurgy and synthetic oils have brought us a long way. Sure smells neat though - nothing like it. Cam.
