gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 6m 19d Posted 14/04/22 01:18 AM Share Posted 14/04/22 01:18 AM I would have to change jetting after about 4 weeks on 98 back on the old 125 2 stroke dirt bike. Even today I don't use 4 week old fuel in anything high performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old 300zx with 450rwkw on 98 only gets driven every 6 months or so and hasn't blown to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cop it on the chin and chalk it up to learning. In future I'll recommend replacing the phasers in pre '08 or high km vehicles, so I don't get caught out.

Edit: meant to say earlier, I'd recommend replacing them when valve springs are upgraded.
