hello,

My bonne was running a little boggy while at constant throttle so i was pretty sure that the carb needs to be cleaned... tried to get it cleaned under warranty since i had to take my bonne in to the shop for some other stuff. but they won't do it under warranty because it's a wear and tear thing and was gonna charge $75 bucks for each carb.

My friend told me that since it still runs, then just use a carb cleaning additive. Anyone recommend this or recommend against this? Any suggestions?

If not i'll probably just take it apart and clean it. hopefully it ain't too difficult.

I put a little "SeaFoam" in my tank [cars,mower and spare fuel cans too] each spring.Seems to get everything cleaned out pretty well.

I recommend Seafoam or Techron. Both are pricey but they work. Save your money & don't buy the cheap stuff.

wait, you live in Hawaii and don't ride often enough to keep the carbs clean?


what's wrong with this picture?

I too have had good success cleaning out carbs with sea foam. Good product. It's pretty easy to find in auto parts stores (round here anyway).

With a 28mile "interstate" highway,my bike wouldn`t even warm up.

I also recommend Chevron Techron. Here on the farm it is part of our spring prep for all equipment. However, I keep my fuel tap closed after each ride and have not had a problem with dirty carbs.
