B3C fuel additive. Ethanol cure? No really!


it is good stuff...I have used many of their product in my stuff since one of the owners of the company was my neighbor before moving closer to the plant in NC or SC. anyway...I've had good luck with the Mechanic in a bottle in getting a couple sleds running that were sitting for a year or more.
 
Thanks for tip. Bought some at Home Depot. Probably the only thing I'll ever buy there though. Hate that place. Menard's is less than a mile away and much better pricing. I don't know how Home Depot manages to stay in business in Wausau. Never any cars in the lot.
 
Finally tried the stuff.
I'm pretty skeptical of snake oils, but I followed the directions and dumped some in my kid's poo after I put it back together. Figured I'd experiment on the poo first.
Let it idle for a while, and ran it through a bit while I was aligning the track on the stand. It says to let it run through for at least 10 minutes and then not to run it for at least 8 hours after. I probably had it running for 15-20 minutes.
It must do something because I was just about choking to death with it running. I also had remnants of Sea Foam, and some Iso heat in the tank, but I can definitely say that it cleaned something out with this stuff.
Ran the thing a little a day or two later, and not only did the thing fire right up easier than it had ever before, but it wasn't smoking like hell, it idled much smoother, and the throttle response was crisper than it had ever been since I got it.
Dumped it in my SXR today and let it run for about 15-20 minutes as well including revving it up on the stand also then a little more idling just for good measure just like I did on the poo. Basically same cocktail in the tank.
Smoked like hell at first too, but not as much as the kid's machine. Always seemed to have a bit of a low idle, but I think it came up and smoothed out too.
Gonna repeat the procedure again just for fun in a day or two to see if anything changed.

I don't know if it's a cure all, but I'm convinced that it at least did something. It would be cool if there was actually a snake oil out there that actually did the magic that it claimed it did.
