So from my understanding it was the puke tube that I drained. So a good thing. Also went to the dealer mechanic and they changed the spark plug, told me to add ethanol free gas and it now runs and starts like a dream.
Curious here.....where do you live?
If 10% ethanol gas was actually damaging a modern scooter or motorcycle --- my mega-mall, official Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Kymco and Suzuki dealer would have gone out of business years ago.
Because ethanol free gas is not available where I live, nor is it readily available to, or used by, the vast majority of riders in the USA.
