ok so my R has been sitting for a little over a year. it has been started periodically through out that time and run on the street but thats it. everytime i am finished running it for the day i always shut the fuel off and ran all the gas out of the bowl to try and keep the carb from gumming up. a few months back i drained the gas out of it and it currently has an empty tank. I did the same on my girlfriends 300ex.
now my question. I mixed up 5 gallons of straight gas with a carb cleaning fuel additive (mainly for her bike). I thought it might be good to run it through mine as well to clean up the carb a little. so is it ok to run it in my R? i normally mix my fuel at 36:1 or 40:1. I assume the additive will affect my ratio. should i ad more oil like at 32:1? or can i still run it at 36:1 and be ok? has anyone else done this?
