Octane, carb cleaner and wind

Sometimes an engine will get a lot of carbon build up in the engine. This causes the compression ration to be a bit higher. In some engines when this happens the higher octane fuel works better. I have a truck that does this.

My wifes GZ250 ran ragged when we first got it. The PO had never ridden it out on town. I fixed the problem by filling the tank and riding where I could ride WOT until I hit reserve. Filled up and took it home. It's worked fine since.

Blowing the carbon out.
