What Lucas product are you guys throwing in the tank to help with the jets? I've seen some posts just saying "great results with Lucas" but they make about a hundred different products.

LUCAS ZENER DIODES for the ultimate in voltage control!
Do not put into your gas tank though.

Being in the automotive field I would not recommend it.  Use Seafoam it a much better product.

I've been using Seafoam for quite awhile now......mulitiple cans in multipe tanks.....nothing.  Didn't do diddly.  

I read one of Fudgie's posts awhile back about Gumout's F/I and carb cleaner.  Said it even improved his gas mileage.  Thought I'd give it a try.  

I'm hear to tell ya, the stuff works. It works like Seafoam never did for me.  Pour in one of the 6 oz bottles, fill tank with gas.  Go for ride and keep it under 3000 rpm for that entire tank.  You'll notice an improvement almost within the first couple of miles.  Big improvement with the slow jets. 

It cleaned up mine......no more miss or hesitation at low speeds.  I'm a believer.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

I've been using the Stabil Marine stabiliser for a couple of years. It's not cheap for a large bottle but it goes a long way and works great. I use it every tank, no slow jet problems due to ethanol "enrichment". A fuel filter takes care of the rest.
As for carb cleaning, I haven't found anything better than Techron.
