60% of the time, it works every time.

On average that statement is correct.

about 10 minutes most of the time with choke. if i put the reserve switch on the old gas the bike dies off choke but if i switch it back into the new gas i put in there the bike can rev without choke otherwise it dies. put some stabil in there to let it run through the system and tossed it back on the trickler.

Best thing you can do is go ride it for an hour or so and put fresh gas in it. There is no new/old gas, only one tank and it is all mixed together. If you ride it for an hour with fresh gas and it still won't idle correctly you need a carb clean.

Proud Niles West graduate as well. No fond memories of teachers though. They tend to frown upon the more difficult students.

You might want to get a 12V charger because that is the system your bike runs on, not 6V. Or you can just put in 2 new "D" size batteries.

Open Mic »Was there ever a time when »Go to message
I did two full 360s in a Dodge dually and 48' trailer going 85 on the expressway. Actually that is a true story. Really the only time I actually feared for my life.

Oh boy. Make sure you have a fully charged battery and try to start it. If it only starts on choke you need your carbs cleaned. Sucks to be you. Good luck with it homey.

Do it! It'll be just me and Aaron. We're going to pit on the little hill left of the fork in the road that takes you to the back where we pitted before and where the mx track is.

Gotcha. I should know tomorrow some time what my deal is.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I just found out what that was last year. Man this is a crazy world we live in.

I hate it when I have to wait two hours to make 4% of a few hundred thousand. That really pisses me off.
