I ran some Sea foam through the trac today. I followed the directions on the can, with a warm engine suck one third pint through the vacuum line slowly, wait 5 minutes and start engine. I ran it through the brake boost line. When I restarted there was no smoke. Not even one little puff. I let it...

I have always used bar oil in my chain saw. I know some use any waste oil they have. I was thinking about using the moble 1 from my trac. I am thinking it is a lot thinner than bar oil. Just wondering if it would hurt anything.

This Sen. is fed up and is telling it like it is. In an interview on MSNBC this morning, newly retiring Sen. Evan Bayh declared the American political system "dysfunctional," riddled with "brain-dead partisanship" and permanent campaigning. Flatly denying any possibility that he'd seek the...

I cant believe they did this. I had a gun shop take my DPMS Panther AP4, 308 back to their shop from a gun show for some work. This is about 150 miles from my home. After some time I called to see how things were going. They said it was finished, but would not be in my area for another show...

I have about 8oz of sea foam left from some small engines. I though I would dump it into the oil in the ST before I change it. Good idea or not? If so, how long should I run it before changing? ST has 53k on it. Always use moble 1.

Does a battery lose some of its life sitting on the shelf before we buy it? What if the new battery has been in a supply house for over a year and then on the dealers shelf for another year? I have always had trouble with bike batteries. The OEM would last forever and the replacement, never...
