Checkmate Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 We were at the indoor motocross freestyle fest in Philly tonight, and i noticed before each and every dude runs, he takes a quick lap and then stops and reaches towards the motor area and adjusts something that is down near the carb. Then they take off and nail the jumps. These are all 2-stroke bikes. i was wondering what they could be phuckin with???? anyone know???

NYUK Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 shutting the choke off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkmate Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 shutting the choke off. but they blasted around the track fine before they play with whatever thier playing with. i originally thought it was the choke, but the bike couldn't run that well with the choke out on the first test runs. Oh yea......hey NYUK....where can you get race gas in our PHILLY area??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 fun center sells 5 gal. of vp c12. vp has a depot in newark del. you can buy it cheap there, the more you buy the cheaper it is.no leaded fuel tax or over the road tax. l&m motors on county line road sells torco race fuels.they will sell you 5 gal at a time. you gotta take your gas can though. atco or englishtown both sell any octane and alcohol. city yamaha also carry vp stuff.

Thats way too much $$, but i bought it just to get my shit running. I figured i will find it more resonable after this batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 in the freestyle areans that are indoors the guys arent allowed to start their bikes till like 45 seconds before they go out and do their run, while there putting it the choke is on, and notice how they smoke alot on it ?, then before they go off they hit the choke, rev it up, clean it out and boom, also alot of the guys do a hands on of the fuel valve to be certain they dont pull a "chicken" i dont want to drop names on who i know in the world of freestyle mx but this is what i was told by some pros, i had to ask too.

. Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Dont know where you live in Philly but if you shoot up the 309 to Montgomeryville Cycle center you can get C12 there for 35 a can. It's about 10-15 minutes north of the Montgomeryville mall. I can give you better directions if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
