Does B12 cleaner harm the agility 50 carburetor or engine if used as directed?
A day or two later
Thanks to BettinANDlosing for his advice on (earlier topic) "Hesitating acceleration".....and will consider "carb clean" as absolutely the last possible alternative....not lazy, just clumsy.
SO..I have been, off and on, idling the engine in place (a total of about three hours) having added several ounces of Sea Foam, and about a half ounce of B12 in a mostly full tank of gas.
The engine is now smoother running, and has only a brief period of hesitation (wanting to stall when increasing the gas), and only in a dead cold start-up.
I'm satisfied with the results, and hope (?) not to have somehow ruined the engine in the process.
Anybody???
A WEEK OR SO LATER....After a day or so I removed and refilled the tank with fresh gas......Ran the scooter for about twenty miles on a trip without any problems...The hesitation is now hardly noticeable.
HOWEVER....I have since learned that the B12 cleaner CAN DO DAMAGE to the carb parts and would not recommend its use.
