So my Fazer sits by the side of the house doing nothing.
It's tatty and only gets a few rides a year. I think I last put some fuel in it in July or something like that.I needed to go out yesterday and the wife had left the lights on in the car and it had a flat battery.
So I went up to the bike and it started up first thing! I know I haven't toutched it since August.But on riding off it was sluggish and didn't want to ride. Then the more I rode it it seemed to get better, but if I accelerated hard it felt like it was running out of fuel.
So I am figureing it needs a carb clean, but I shone a light in the fuel tank and the fuel was green!Not a tinge of green, no! It looked more like limeade or something, it's bright increadable hulk green!!! I can see through it, but it does look bright green.
What the hell is in modern fuel that it goes green like that?Can petrol go mouldy?
