Cleaning the Injectors

[Kiwifruit]

Ive been adding acetone to my bikes for years and never had an issue with injectors or carbs (except the bandit  )

Thats interesting Del. I have used Acetone as a cleaner for years. How much would you add to a tank full of fuel and how often ?

Am I the odd one out here but in 200,000 kms my bike has never seen an injector cleaner, drinks nothing more than E10 or ULP and still lives to tell the tale. Just lucky I guess.

@Kiwifruit - In general about 50 to 70ml per tank - I get it for about £13.50 for 5 litres - did all my research before started using it many moons ago and never had any issues with pipes breaking down excerta

I'm not convinced they need it, but it's a habit I picked up years ago in cars which did help the first car I used it on. Mine runs on the cheapest fuel too, but not E10 as it's that much slower & thirstier on it it actually costs more per mile.

Have not had trouble with mine in the 65,000kms l've put on it either.
But l am interested in solvents.......
In the 80's during the fuel shortage my old HK Monaro loved a little cocktail of petrol, prepsol (wax & grease remover) and lacquer thinners

HK Monaro?  The upside folk won't have a clue what that is / was.

Haha.......she could tell a few stories that old girl. 307 chev with a 2 stage auto.
$500 worth of fun.
My first camper Col !!

crashing out in the back seat at a weekend party doesn't really cut it as a camper, nowadays anyway!

Loved those old 2 speeds. Powerglide in Holdens, Fordomatic in Falcons. My Mums Falcon would touch 90 in low but 85 in 2nd. Multiple valve grinds later it got to 400 th miles. Head off in 10 minutes. Rest of motor never touched.

[Kiwifruit]

Yup thats the one Grog, the old powerglide. Sold it for $750 then got my XJ750

I've found that these work well to clean out injectors, I've only used it on my R6 injectors on my 1600 but I've been meaning to using it on my 1400 injectors, one fouled and I replaced all four with Chinese ones.
