Went out for a ride tonight and about 5 miles in the engine just all of the sudden started running poorly. I had almost no power, had to pedal assist up hills and it wouldn't idle. It almost had a pinging/knock from the engine.Tried closing the choke a bit thinking it might have somehow sucked something into the jet and be running lean but no dice. Limped it the 5 miles home, tinkered with it for about 15 minutes and had it running great again.
While I was riding home I remembered my phone has a nice camera in it so I shout some before and after video, If you listen closely you can hear the pinging I'm talking about.
Oh and in the after video, for all of you that say you can't get proof of how fast you're going, who says you can't ride WOT and hold a camera/phone to shoot video?![laff laff laff](https://motorbicycling.com/images/smilies/Laff.gif)
