No mice building nests in the air filter either? lol

Nope, the quad was totally stripped a week ago and it ran after that, hopefully something will show up.

i agree, WV is a beautiful state! driving down the goat path of a road to the new river under the bridge is unbelieveable. hard to believe only 2 people died while making that. but morgantown is crazy. the road signs suck and the whole town is on the side of a cliff. i bet it gets exciting when it snows.
anyways... i'd steer clear of octane boost. i use to run it in my TA till it ruined the float needles in my carb. made a fuel injected car of mine miss also. i'm sure different brands are better than others. but i, or anyone i know, really never experienced any beneficial results from using the stuff. that's just my $.02, give me back some change if you want.

I ran octane in my two stroke once. It smoked twice as much and I had to switch to a really hot plug. I am not really sure why though. I always understood that higher octances burned faster and cooler?!?!

It was late at night when I filled it up and the only gas I could get was 92 and the manual says to use 93 or higher so I put about 2oz of booster in 4gallons of gas, it may not have even raised the octane but I figured why not.

About Morgantown, I have been delivering food here for 3 years to pay for school so I know what you mean. It is actually flat compared to where my parents live and I love snow so I usually deliver when it snows and make huge tips. Just have to avoid steep streets with intersections at the bottom or you will slide into someone.
