 Re: Riding in the hood.
I rode the T'ville Gasoline poboy chopper twice today. The first time I was so worn out from lack of sleep and exhausted from the ride though the trail, that I was a danger so I came home. I took it back out.
when I rode this morning the bike had a lot of play in the throttle cable so I tightened it. When i started it this afternoon it raced. Every time I loosened it, it would race again. Finally it just wouldn't start. I went nuts with the choke the throttle cable everything I could think off.
You guessed it, I had run out of gas. That was part of the racing sound. Not all but part. I was exhausted again when I figure it out. I did remember that in my travel basket, I had a plastic bottle with 12oz of premix. I put it in and the bike started.
I was glad not to have to push the bike a block. I went home and put another quart of gas in the tank and replished my emergency bottle. Then of course it began to rain, so i took all that as a sign to get a good night sleep and try again tomorrow.
If nothing else I have a trailer to build tomorrow. |
