My bikes are on the pill

I finally decided to try em. A guy has been tellin me for yrs how great the Fitch Fuel Catalyst is, so I started running one this yr.
Turns out, there is somethin to it.
I've noticed way less effort to start, as in, about 5-6 steps with the "dance" and kick compared to about 10-15 in the past.
A bit better mileage The niner is doin about 29 to the gallon singletrackin. The kids been riding it, yes, but he's been kickin the old boys ass as of late. Dans bike with the PJ is clockin in around 26, and thats up a couple miles.
Both machines gained IMO a bit better response.
Worth the $20??
Theres 1 in the Kaw, 2 in the pontoon boat, the smaller version in the saws, weed whip, chipper, blower, the oldie but goodie dinosaur Scott Atwater outboard..................................
The thing that sold me the most
My bro has an old TM75. It's been his pit bike since Jesus was a kid, complete with bean oil injection. The thing been sittin in the barn for a couple of yrs, with the same full tank of gas it had before it collected the 1/8 inch of dust.
Dogged if it didn't start on the first kick.
It gets my recommendation

*Note*
The bike specs the numbers came from are as follows
For the niner, 39.5 PWK, 45 pilot, 170 main, DGN on the 4th, 15/47 gearing with the Mo Betta and a 13oz flywheel weight
Dans bikes runnin a PJ, 52, 168, stock on the 3rd, 15/47, stock cylinder
Both bikes P/C pipes
