Re: 100% acetone in sv650 curvy?
I've had carby bikes start fine after being outside in -10c.
Wikipedia lists petrol flash point at -43 degrees. I don't think I'd fancy riding in that TBH.

Re: 100% acetone in sv650 curvy?
Winter fuel has more volatile fractions than summer/intermediate petrol to aid cold starting. See "Reid vapour pressure" or RVP. Manufacturers (of cars anyway) usually do cold start tests down to -35C unassisted (i.e. no block heaters or supplementary batteries). In climates where temps below -35C are seen regularly folk usually take extra measures (leave running, block heating, garages etc)
................but we're going off down a different track I think.

Flash point means how easy itis to light, not how much energy it knocks out

You usually wouldnt know if youve done damage for a while. With regards to clean engines older engines can actually run better with a bit of carbon build up, alledgedly it covers the microfractures that can form over time. I seem to remember advice to not put engine cleaners in old engines, stick to new ones if you must use it. Last edited by Spank86; 03-10-12 at 02:46 PM. |
