Having issues with my ruck when it's cold so I read through a bunch of posts. Just took ruck out of winter storage so first thought is the carb / fuel system is plugged up.
Lots of posts talk about tearing down the carb to clean & using 'Sea Foam'. I'm not lazy but I like to try simple first. What about a fuel system cleaner that goes into the tank (i.e. Gumout)? I realize the cleaning isn't as thorough but I'm thinking that the residue should begin to clear out after a few good runs.
And long term...anyone run cleaner through on a regular basis just to keep the fuel system clean? Some of the post both here and on other boards imply that a tear down / cleaning might be needed as often as every 2-3000 miles. Seems like a lot. A bottle of cleaner runs ~$4 and treats 15 gals. That should last me the summer if I run it every other fill up. Thoughts???
Thanks for reading this...
