    The Perfect Gas Can…

    Have had one for 10 yrs , draining the sled fuel tanks is a breeze . Bought a spare for hunting camp for draining ( decanting) diesel fuel . Agree very convenient indeed .

Still have two 5 gallon ( usg.) Eagle metal cans that I use for gear & transmission used oil storage to...

    Gas life?

    T The only current additives I use today that I swear by is Startron for ethanol fuel phase separation prevention in long term fuel storage up to 2 yrs & Seafoam for pre oil change degumming or sludge prevention , even with today's modern synthetic oil usage . I agree that seasonal use in gas...

    Gas life?

    Never used it , however if its as quality a product as their 2T oil I would use it . 2 yr stabilizer is a solid statement . Startron that I do currently use has the same expressed statement that I have validated often . Depends on the price for the bottle .

    Gas life?

    Good points brother . I only use the Seafoam once a yr to fog my in take plenum on my Cummins . Yes , the Mass air flow sensor also should be cleaned seasonally also , however seafoam is not the correct application lol.

    Just curious about something....

    Ensure you know its magnesium or alluminium prior to attempting any welding . A few drops of pure vinegar on the degreased casing will bubble up if magnesium . AZ 61 or AZ 101 tig filler rod or #23 wire is preferred for this weld on magnesium alloys . Ensure both surfaces are clean of any oil...

    Gas life?

    Don't have any pics of it unfortunately . It's the standard 78 Midnite Blue Express . The only difference between the 250 & 340 triples & the 440 & 650 triple fugi liquids RXL factory Starfires is , that the 440 & 650 had magnesium chassis & titanium bulkheads , where as the 250 & 340 were...

    Gas life?

    400c Rumors… or just internet trolls.

    2 stroke chainsaw , a wide torgue band is preferred over a peaky horse power curve . 6 speed manual tranny on my Cummins makes for stump pulling torgue , with modest horsepower numbers & thrifty fuel mileage numbers brother :buttkick:

    400c Rumors… or just internet trolls.

    Yeah , my Titanium chassis 650 RX-L runs peak horsepower between 8500-9300 rpm , which was the factory set up which dyno numbers indicated produced 125 hp . The only 77 RX-L that ran high numbers was the 440X sleds of Jim Bernat & Jerry Bunke , which spun up to 13,000 with its monoblock triple...

    400c Rumors… or just internet trolls.

    Aaen pipes were reliable aftermarket pipes . We developed our own piping systems , with power cans before they were available for consumer sleds lol. Aaen clutching was world class , ran a few of their units on a few ZCats & Liquid Twisters to replace the oem Salisbury units on their 1976 model...

    400c Rumors… or just internet trolls.

    Actually clutching of the RXL & Indy Starfires in the 70's was World class . Solid rubber Goodyear gold or Gates Belts of that vintage stood up to the horsepower & clutching of the day within the early free air 500 & 600 triples e.g. Centurian .Todays 200 +hp sleds would shread them in 2 laps...
