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!!!!!!

When you come down the hill out of Plymouth there is a Mobil and an Irving on the left. I wish I had gone to the Mobil!
