Sounds nuts, I thought so too before I tried it.....TC-W3, yeah, smokeless 2-stroke oil, about 1-1/2 ounces for a 3 gallon tank. I've used it in my Goldwing and two CB750C's for about 3 years, every 2nd or 3rd tankful of gas. No, I'm not a chemist. I even get a slightly higher idle RPM when it's in there. The CB750 plugs read just on the lean side, just like they have since these bikes were new. I believe it's doing all kinds of good stuff including stabilizing the gas and alcohol. I've picked up my own chainsaws that have sat for 5 years or more with mix of TC-w3 and ethanol gas, start right up and run great until the tank was empty, they couldn't do that if there was water in the gas.
Carburetor gum........that was a great source of income for dealers every spring (Ha, when dealers serviced bikes), even when I was in diapers more than half a century ago.
