Default Re: Bargain Alerts Thread!!!

I'm a big fan of redex as well, used to have mega problems starting carburettor bikes and lawnmowers after winter lay-up, needed sprays and easy start etc. and even then took a while to get back to normal smooth running - but using redex the bikes and mowers used to start pretty easily and run and tick-over smoothly straight away. Since getting an injected SV L7 in early 2016 I continued using it as it not real expensive and certainly does no harm. Modern fuels don't leave carbon deposits but certainly when they dry out they can leave a sticky laquer behind that can gum up injector needle and nozzle holes, and maybe even fuel pump.

I can easily get low 70's MPG from my L7 making good progress, and if I'm not in a hurry and use short-shifting I can get over 80.
