There are so many on the market, it can be hard to choose. Star Tron was traditionally used to treat tanks in the marine industry, where ethanol is obviously more likely to attract moisture. So if it’s good enough for them, surely it must be good enough for bikes? Mechanics certainly think so – many swearing by it.
Star Tron’s strong formula not only prevents gum, carbon and varnish build-up, it removes it. And it’s all natural, so impossible to overdose.
Treated with this miracle product, your fuel delivery system will stay clean and your petrol fresh. Your engine will start up easily and run smoothly, which makes it ideal for treating old fuel or for using before storing your bike away for a while. It also makes fuel burn more completely, increasing your engine’s performance while providing fantastic fuel economy and reducing smoke and all emissions.
But enough of us waffling on about it. Why not try it yourself and see?
You can buy Star Tron in three sizes from Wemoto: a super-concentrated formula (30ml) which treats 90 litres, a standard formula (250ml) which treats 180 litres, or an even larger (1000ml) version of the standard formula which treats 720 litres.

Replacing your fuel pump can be expensive – but usually the point of failure is the points. If you’re willing to do a bit of DIY (or, if you know someone that can do it for you! ) you can replace the points and have a fully functioning fuel pump, for only £22.38. (Price includes VAT and is correct at time of writing, October 2013.)
Impex (Japan) have been long-standing suppliers to Japanese original equipment manufacturers and now their range of comprehensive carburettor repair kits is available from Wemoto.
The new additions fit a range of classic Japanese models from mid-60s to mid-90s and are more complete than some other aftermarket repair kits. Made in Japan to the same specification as the original equipment, the aftermarket kits retail at a far lower price than the individual parts from the original manufacturer.
The cost of a fuel pump failure can be high, with even aftermarket pumps (if you can find one) costing well in excess of £100. And yet what many people don’t know is that on many Japanese models the point of failure is the points which, if you’re willing to get your hands dirty, can be replaced at only £22.34 (inc VAT)
