[QUOTE="bwv, post: 1124607, member: 35143"] Thank you HRZ :) My last ride was December 22nd, for about 15 miles on the Startron treated E10 fuel (Thank you again Forum ! ...I "remembered" that date and trip by going by my "I rode it" post in the W.D.Y.D.T.Y.FJR.T.? section). I'm pretty sure I havent started it since then. It would be out of character for me to start an engine and then not let it warm up really well on something i knew I was gonna let sit for a long time. I do agree it has to be something like the injectors leaking fuel into the jugs and washing the oil film off the cylinder walls (albeit hard to believe it could lose that much compression...but, it would be even harder for me to beleive it was leakign past the valves)... in hindsight, I am kickin' myself, as I probably should have pulled the plugs and put a couple drops of oil in there before cranking it so long trying to get it to start. Hoping it doesnt recur, and wanted to add my information to this syndrome thread in the hopes that someone can use it. If it happens again, I'll pull the plugs and put a couple drops of oil in there before cranking it that long.(feeling a little stupid for not doing that this time...) [/QUOTE]
