Morning guys! Sounds like a fun night last night! I fell asleep during a movie, only to wake up and not be able to fall asleep until about 2. I'm up and enjoying my coffee this morning!

One thing I noticed this morning..........my gas gauge was stuck. I opened it and it sprung loose. I only have about 1/8 of a tank. Whew, I thought I was getting dang good mileage.

It felt good, but your right I only got to ride it in the yard a few times before the nightmare swap. I thought it handled pretty good for a $300 sled. I put the suspension thru its paces last night for sure. Some of the trail was like whoopie doos. It ran like a champ. Once I got it out and opened it up, it seemed to run better. Started on the first pull every time last night. I am sure the carbs were clogged up with old gas. A little sea foam and some premuim gas.........

That is pretty good right? It seems like good mileage to me for a two stroke. I know I am jumping the gun but how do you store the sled? I know you spray fogging oil in the intake but what about the gas? Do you run it empty ot put Stabil in?

I just wash mine(sometimes) and park it in the shed. And if I remember I start them a couple times and let them run for 10 minutes or so to get good and hot. Never done the fogging thing and rarely do Stabil. NEVER been an issue with clogged carbs or rusted cylinders. It's a 2 stroke. Already lots of oil going through the carbs an engine.
