Got up, put cans back on (trying to dress her up for Toys for Tots toy run) and no fire at all Batt was a little weak hooked to car NOT running and still no fire not 1 stutter. Only thing I did at all different was try to start it with the cans off yesterday fired once, not started just a rumble, then nothing. I figured it for lack of back pressure or something.

Also I let a buddy who dropped his bike borrow mine a week or so ago, seemed like it bogged a little on the highway after he returned it. I just chalked it up to weather change, or over nervousness from loaning her out.

Anyhow if any of my ramblings triggered something to try before plastic comes off please let me know. 87 Hurricane 1000f KnN filter.

May get to try those E3 plugs after all, or just NGK so I don't have to take back the toys I bought for this mornings run for 4 plugs. hehe.

Thanks,
Patrick

I am bummed.

 

Well . nobody gets to borrow mine .....that way if it ever starts giving me chit
there's only one place to point that finger !

Did he put some real chit gas in it or something ?

Sprok:

Yea I didn't want to but he hasn't ridden in so long. Thats a good thought I think I topped her off since, but short term Memory fails at times.

Tim:

Thanks for the link I will look as today is the 1st chance I've had.

Thanks for all your help,
Patrick

 

I let my son use mine and he put it down the road

 

Ouch to both of you....

 

Finally found this post again to update!!

Thanks for the help from everyone.

Tim: I did several things, but the choke did feel different before lifting the tank so I did the same maint. as you.

Sprok: Mowed the lawn with the rest of that gas. Didn't see water in the sample I looked at but never know, Lawnmower is happy with super ;-) but it'll run on anything. Also learned my lesson on loaning he assumed that it was now our bike. Has to put an end to that. Sadly that was before the offending time, maybe he took it harder than I thought.

I also disassembled the plug wires, and cleaned up all the connections.

The next toy run I made it!!!!!!!!! 26f put on charger and put heater under cover she started!!!!! I will post pics in another post the stuffed animal pile was taller than the volunteers. Cool!!!!

 

Good deal, man! Glad to hear it.

 

Excellent Patrick ......very good man
