Steamer running problem

[MarkShelley]

Chucked a small amount  of seafoam in the tank as I only had a gallon or so of fuel in the tank. After stuttering and nearly dieing for 18 miles it suddenly burst into life and all appears to be well again! I will have to make sure I use it every few days. Not easy with 6 biukes in the garage!

One of my reasons to run the bike regularly if i can`t get out and actually ride it  :)

In my experience, it would have cleared after that mileage without the Seafoam. Mine does exactly the same, and as I ride infrequently, its fairly common. I dont even worry now, just ride with choke until it settles. Based on info on Ethanol in UK petrol from Bruken, it may be worth trying a higher octane  fuel, which should have lower Ethanol levels, which seems to fit with the US riders having proportionally more issues per bike, and having higher Ethanol content in the US fuel..Possibly..And of course, ride often..
