I just wanted to ask if you tried the acetone in the 2-stroke yet or if you are going to?? I thought about it but, my only concern is how the acetone and the 2-stroke oil are going to interact.

I'm going to try it, definitely....did not go out this wknd though....
Replaced the fuel filters and worked on the steering cable tolerances... it should not be a prob, as the fuel & oil mix at the carb...
I'm looking at the acetone helping to clean out the inside of the carbs, etc. Anything will help to get the 29gph at WOT down a few....

It can't hurt...acetone is a natural solvent anyway...I've used it as a spray for carb cleaning before....no residue, drys clean, etc.

Went ahead and treated one outta two tanks in the boat with the acetone. I don't know if it had any effect but, I put it in the motorhome and I think it might have helped it out. I got about 8.5 mpg on the way to the lake which is an all time best. Thanks for the tip GFR!!

You're welcome, glad it worked out for ya!. I'm surprised you gained mileage though, I tried it several times on two different vehicles, even tried different timing events and didn't gain any mileage, just cleaned the system and made it run a lot nicer!.. It did take about a 100 miles before I noticed anything so it may take a while in the boat, might not see a change right a way!..
BTW, how much did you put in??.

I put in about 3oz to 10 gal and hedged on the light side. I think the reason I was getting better gas mileage was a comb of things. I tuned it up b4 we left and drove it under optimal conditions. However, I am sure it didn't hurt.

From all the articles I've read, 3oz to 10gals max anything more is a waste with no benefit, I have not tried more so I don't know for sure!..

Yeah a tuneup always works huh, LOL.. Now that it's tuned up try it both ways and see what happens, all the articles claim better mileage but I havn't seen any difference and several others have tried it with the same results, just runs a lot nicer!.
