Bob The heater does stuff but I haven’t got it hot enough to see if it blows hot. I’m also b not sure it the hot/cold is hooked up. My electric horn doesn’t work but I will get around to figuring it out.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 When I first got my 611, I put in fresh fuel and filters. It still didn’t sound exactly “right”. I had been adding a little 2-stroke oil to the ULSD fuel. I got a jug of Opti-Lube XPD, and dosed it on the next fuel stop. Within a half mile, it smoothed-up. And the idle went up 50 RPM. Probably the injector cleaner in the XPD. Made a real difference. You’ll get it sorted out. I have no doubt 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

I have no doubt I plan on emptying the tanks filling them with fresh fuel, changing the filters and add some BG fuel additive. Then just drive it around and see what that does for it. The bg stuff really good. It’ll clean everything up nicely.
