Thanks Earl,, nicely said.

Glad to have you aboard. For better braking consider stainless braided lines, makes a world of difference, available from @skydoc_17on this site.

I think it's missing something, can you show the other side?

Nice to hear from you Mama, and hoping that you and your first husband continue to get along fine on two wheels.

I use Sunlight dish detergent, and on very odd occasion might have to use a little orange. Hands don't dry out nearly so much. Better I think.

Choke plunger(s) stuck in the enrichment position?

It happens, not to all of them but it is common. Tap the side of the carb while the pump is running and it might solve the problem, if not take off the feed tube and push some carb cleaner into it, let it sit for a bit and try again with the pump. If that don't do it, it may be time for a carb rebuild.

Nice piece, hoping it works well for you.

Gave those pills to my neighbour, now he sees things in a whole lot different light and even likes me sometimes.

Just be four warned, Reiny is twice the size of Joe, and he don't go slow!

Now don't you be thinkin that meeting @ReinyRoosterwill be fun. Around here we are glad to see him go on a trip,,,,, and maybe wishing we were going with him.

It's real name is Road Sofa. Once you the hang of the weight issue then you'll understand why.

Yah, you best not snotter on all that new paint.

Know what your saying, it's all in the foot work.

Not only interesting rebuild, also good vid to watch. Carry on Mcduff.

Yep. I was trying to find a picture for you, but didn't come up with one. It won't take a whole lot of effort to open it up.

I believe that I think I might maybe have an explanation for you. At least I think I do. There are a number of different that wires are held in place by this sort of holder. If you take your peter-pointer finger and bring it together to the tip of your thumb you'll form an oblong circle/hole. That is kind of what that holder looks like. When first done at the factory the tips are very close together and can be thought to be one piece, but they are made to be pried apart so that the wires can be removed and then re-inserted later.

You are soooo right!! seeing as I would not expect to have it for long, it would soon go the way of a 10m socket.

I'm guessing that it is mostly in the doghouse then eh?

Is that what you get to use when you get sent out to the doghouse?

I could get me one of those text to speak thingies, or the speaking to typing things, but I'm afraid that it were to be got into the hands of somebody else there would be no end to any paragraphs written in this forum. I will just type, that way you all will undersatnd me better anyways.

Well it takes at least 2 things to being an old fart, you are the one, now you get to practice the other.

Axle position definitely will effect handling, actually all components have an effect, some to a greater degree some maybe lesser. Best to do a lot of research, 1 inch can make a hug difference. When that's all put together yo then have to learn how to load it properly as well.

OOuch!! That could make a feller old in a hurry. Time to adjust to the new environment!
