This happened after I got gas in Holderness. It seems that ethanol gas/water is the problem.
FYI Here are 2 products I have heard of that may help with these issues:

A friend of mine uses K100 in all his sleds and in his boat during the Summer.

My last fuel up was at the Irving Station across from the Plymouth State/University field. Where did you fuel up??
I think that the new fuel with ethenol plays a part in this. HK said the inexpensive oil I'm using is not the issue. These sleds do tend to heat up I guess being fan cooled. Plus HK said that these fan cooled motors are not designed for speed so when I'm trying to keep up with others on wide open lake ride my sled is working harder than others. He also said something about running lower octane fuel as it burns cooler than high octane. Blowing a motor on our toys STINKS!!!!!!
