I really hate to open this can of worms, but you did ask, and maybe it's fitting to answer, I know I'll get rock's thrown at me, but what th heck, it wouldn't be the first time, and no 2 people do things the same way, unless you're fortunate enough to have that much help. That being said, first off, get yourself a methenal hydrometer, and ck every barrel of fuel you buy for water, keep your barrel sealed at all times, and in a place where it is less likely to be exposed to heat and cold. Next, buy you a case of Klotz, UPLON, upperlube, and use it as directed, that, in my experience, will keep problems to a minimum. Everytime you expose alcohol to the atmosphere, it will absorb water, and everytime you drain the system, you'll draw in moisture, and everytime it drys, it will leave a white film, and that in itself, is the big problem, so I use the proceedure I just gave you, and leave the system wet, as much as I can, to avoid these issues. As far as the nozzles, I usually clean them weekly, in a small can of carb cleaner, wash them with hot water, blow them dry, spray them down with PB Blaster, and put them back in, and sometimes I'll pull the supply line to the barrel valve, spray some PB Blaster in there, open the shutters, and blow it thru the lines and nozzles, than it's ready to go, as far as I'm concerned. Cking the oil filter on a per race basis, is probably good insurance, and not that expensive, but, if you don't know what to look for, it can be a waste, so for at least the first half dozen times, let someone look at it, that does know. As I said earlier, everyone has their own way, but for all the years Klotz UPLON has been available, it has been the saving grace, for me. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Bob!
