Default Thanks for all ur help guys! 2 more questions! lol

alright i put in a new battery and it still didnt turn on so i was wondering y ..there was no gas haha. well i put in gas for like lawn mowers and **** just a little bit to c if it was the problem and yea it was.. anyways was it a mistake that i put in that gas? it said that its okay for corborated machines.

anyways i turned the bike on and it was all warmed up but it idles at 3.5~4 k!!! please let me kno wut i should do.

i was thinking of empting out the gas tank and go geting 5 dollars worth of 87 and filling it up.

one more question

i have a replica tail on my f3 and it is primed but unpainted. i was wondering if i can paint it myself with spray cans and clear coat. i did this to my rsx wheels on my lude and it turned out great...and does anyone know the paint code?

well...heres the rims i painted to show u it came out pretty decent

the label on it? Since when does gas from a gas can or pump have a label on it for what it is? Lets hope you didnt put 2stroke oil it in.. That would be problematic for you.

did you still have the choke on? it'll race the motor if you leave it on after it warms up.

read the label, if it says 2 stroke, you might wanna flush out that tank and put some real fuel in it.

I did that with a rental kia once; didn't feel like actually paying for gas upon return so I filled up with my quad gas.

sounds like your idle adjustment may be out of wack. if you have your manual, it should show you where the idle adjuster is located and what it should be set at (it sticks out of your carburetor). it can be adjusted by simply turning it with your fingers.

do you know where your reserve gas switch is? (in manual as well) switch that to "reserve" and you should have enough to get to the nearest gas station (take it easy on the throttle though!)
