What you say @Tym? I dipped my fingers in and it did have that sort of consistency except there was something gritty as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is fluffy a technical term? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clue spent the last 3 hours doing keyhole surgery taking the float bowl off the carb without removing it. Had a blocked idle jet which is now clear so the bike picks up a lot better off idle now. I've checked the tank again all looks clean and there's filters in there which wouldn't let that slime through, I did think it was my temp tank i use when the fuel tank is removed but that's clean and also has a filter so i'm at a loss. Another thing that did cross my mind is this new E10 fuel so i checked the carb on the XR and that is fine as well, going for a spin now and will keep an eye on it see if it happens again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Might be ridiculous, but might it have been some sort of slug or whatever that somehow got into the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
