    What does everyone use as a fuel addative?

    hmm how much 2 stroke.? I guess I use more than an ounce per tank of my mix...but that is likely only 5% 2 stroke in it. This has me thinking now that maybe I'm not mixing enough 2 stroke in my Power service stuff. Ok..we'll up the amount.! :D stk

    Not sure what a Full Transgo is or whether it is the equal of the Jr in the 6 spd..but still some measure of protection with a 100 hp tune...no? I would think it is the least expensive decent measure you can do. I can only spk from my experience with my own Jr. It was easy to install (with a...

    LB7: oil filter, fuel filter...

    Transmission cooler line questions

    I would love to see a picture of these "new" lines. If they are using the same style of Aluminum crimp..my money is on the fact that at some point in colder weather, they will in fact leak. Only permanent fix is: old crimps/hose cut off, hydraulic fittings with male nuts soldered on to the...
