Start Your Engines!
May 11, 2009 by Seth Fargher
It seems like spring has come later than usual this year and if you’re anything like me you’ve put off prepping your machine for the coming riding season. Maybe its just the weather where I’m from but I was begining to doubt that spring would ever arrive. Alas, it is finally here and I’m gearing up for some exciting riding in the weeks to come.
If you were on the ball last winter and included a fuel system stabilizer in your machines fuel tank my hat’s off to you. Many of us I feel just put our machines in the shop, hoping for one last hoorah before the snow flies, only to realize weeks (or months) later that we never got that extra ride and never properly put our machine away for the season. Before you know it time gets away from you and spring is here and you’ve had gas siting in your machines tank and fuel system for four months. (I think I have started my old trusty LT 250R once since last labor day.)
The makers of the same fine stabilizer product you would or should’ve used when putting your ATV away for winter now offer a product to help your machine run smoothly when taking it out of storage. Start! Your Engines is a fuel sytem revitaliser designed to keep your carburator clean and free of buildup that might have developed during those idle months. “For quick, reliable starts of power equipment right out of storage and during season.” Start! Your Engines removes water and dries out the entire fuel system ensuring clean, correct opperation of your ATV each and every time you ride.
Even if you used a stabilizer when you parked your ATV adding Start! Your Engines to your ATV will ensure the fuel system stays clean and free of gum and varnish. One 4 oz can treats up to a gallon of fuel so figure out what the capacity of your specific tank is and keep your ATV running at peak performance all year long.

Hmmm. I would be interested in trying some of this. I have tried many of other stabilizers with minimal success.
