It has 300 miles on it and all of a sudden has an intermitant miss and dies once and a while. I think I may have moisture in the gas. Can I add isopropel to the gas or is this a no no.

Thanks.

If the gas was purchased in the 7 county metro than it already has 10% ethanol (alcohol).

Adding more isopropyl will probably not do anything to cure the problem.

If you are fairly sure its moisture, I'd personally drain the tank completely and fill with a fresh tank of

new fuel and put on a new in-line filter. There isn't much you can do to get the lines to the injectors

clean other than run it.

Thanks, I will do that.

I had the same problem on my 500 sportsman. After looking through everything i finally found that both my battery cables had rattled loose. I tightened them back up and it runs like a dream now! Make sure you check those every once in a while if you are putting alot of miles on across the lake.
