Hey, you VP people...been harder to get product this year?  I heard that VP is being sold to Torco.

Drain it and run pump through the system.

You're the one who told me not to delete my posts.  See what I've been sparing you from?   

Well since MJ doesn't have access to a computer till he gets home from the event Sunday night I thought I would say what the problem turned out to be. After some ED Key God-like intervention guiding MJ in the right direction the problem indeed turned out to be varnishing (or whatever you want to call it) of the pilot jets. A simple carb cleaner bath of the jet's followed by some compressed air and problem was solved!

With Ed having touched his bike Mike should be turning 16's without a problem now!

No way...

I have not had any problems getting fuel.  But I buy it in bulk.  Dad is nice enough and usually needs an excuse to get out of the house so he makes a annual/bi-annual run for me.   

Don't store the fuel in the tank, you will be cleaning everything sooner or later. 

Drain it (I usually put it back into a VP can and seal tight and store in cool location) and then just run a gallon or 2 of good pump gas in it.  Run motor long enough to flush the VP through system.  If sitting for period of time (month or more) add a very small amount of stabil, just makes starting easier and reduces risk of water contamination.

They say that 4.2 was created because so many people yelled about U4 gelling.  I talked to a tech at VP and they basically said no reason to buy U4.2 if you drain it.  I think it costs a little more but I really can't remember.

I haven't heard anything about them being bought, but I do know they got out of the Oil product business last year.
