Venox 250 / Fuel additives, yes or no?
« on: May 02, 2012, 08:13:52 PM »
Awesome Venox team, 
I've seen similar posts in the scooter forums but not in the Venox, so wanted to run it by you all.
Are fuel additives like STP Fuel System Cleaner for Ethonol or the Sea Foam or Star-tron (from the scooter forums) good in the Venox? My Issues:
-My 2007 Venox doesn't idle until warm and run down the road a bit (I start it with choke on).
-Slow to jump off in 1st at stops (like one carb jet isn't kicking in until late)
-Occationally stalls while slowing or stopping unless I ride the throttle and keep it going
-runs well once in a constant speed (runs better in a higher than called for gear-ex: runs better in 2nd when I should probably be in 3rd, better 3rd than 4th, etc)
No other issues.
So, a guy who used to work for Kymco, demo'ing the bikes said put the additive in. I heard it may be bad for Venoxes. Also heard (but don't know anything about) of the sea foam and Star-tron? Where can I get them and are they ok for our Venoxes?
(Background) - The previous owner didn't run it much, carbs were cleaned last year sometime, but the guy still didn't run it well. Using Super unleaded gas. - Thanks for your help! - Nic
