I don't think the Napa oil is JASO MA certified. That could be part of the problem.

I would bet that the injector is gummed up. If I had to guess. Good luck with it. Let us know what happens so the next guy will have an easier time.

Could try to run some Startron though it, I have seen that stuff work wonders,and the good thing is you cant over use it, I have heard from our customers that they pour it in and after a few tanks or even a few hours the machine runs better, I'd say change the oil and filter, get a bottle of that and go ride for a few hours.

I'd try a bottle of that if the injector is gummed up before I drop the coin on a injector.

I put some injector cleaner in the machine but have not had time to see what it has done. Had to clean the carb on my Fathers machine and install a winch for him as well, combined with helping a buddy gut a house, no time. I will keep everyone posted on results.
