hey guys i have been away in thailand for the last 3 weeks then up north for 3 weeks. my vl is unreg so does not get driven but gets started every nown and then.i started it today for first time in over 6 weeks. im not sure how old the fuel is. its running a rb25det with microtech. normaly it has the usual rich fuel smell however it seemed to put off a sweeter smell today and it seemed to warm up alot quicker than usual. could this be stale fuel or something even more wrong.
