I've seen proof, but for you it will just be more hear say. Matt used Arco gas in his quad for one day (nothing else was available), and then stored the quad for a week. Took it out again, and it wouldn't fire. Took the carb apart, and the main jet was closed off due to mineral deposits.

My friend Mike has a few first hand stories that I've heard aswell.


Ben, yes, it was ridiculous. I'm sure that I lowered the compression by scraping it all off. It was so bad that the height of the build up was limited by the cylinder head combustion chamber.
