Hey ahhan, Hehe, so you're also doing DIY with your bike ahz? spraying it pearl white like this issit??

 

http://www.white-oryx.com/whitey.jpg

 

Hehehe, about your carb washing issue, i'm not sure of the standard price but it should be around that range :smle: So which shop did you go to to service your bike? I would recommend that you go to those shops that we frequent as the mechanics are well versed in auto scoot, not those that deal with mostly manual bikes as they know how to solve the issue faster :cheeky:

 

Well if you do want to know how to DIY those that alvin state, you just have to wait for our next DIY session which would be roughly in november after our "Small" boss exam period hehe, he shall then mobilise us for the session, so keep coming back here for more info and we'll take note of your contact at your siggy :sweat:

If anyone wants to experiment with this, let me know. I have a bottle of acetone. I'm trying it out on my RXK :)

Wah Shu, got so much to read! I blur liao :giddy: In any case, not sure whether can use in our skippers or not as i believe our fuel tanks are made of plastic also right?? Acetone :nono: with plastic :confused:

haha basically it's 7ml of acetone for 10litres of petrol

 

some guy tried it with his paraglider motor. the fuel tank's plastic, and he said he had no problems even after 3 weeks. Plastic was still OK.

 

Rae: experiment again lah!

From the link i read, there is a proportion of acetone to petrol. Doesn't matter, what type of engine. But from what i read also, they never mention any bikes :giddy: Only mention lawn mower :sweat:

 

In any case, Shu, after you test, u better report your findings to us! then i can start saving on petrol liao. :smile:
