I do that anyway, startin to be a habit. Guess I need more naps!!

Next time you take a nap, drink a little sage tea, you'll find a big improvement. You used the 'sage' word in the wrong sentence.

If memory serves me correct there is some kind of setup to prevent it from going back in on it's own. There might be an adjustment available there. Or somebody decided to lube it and overcome the idea. I do know that most if not all the 2nd gens I've seen have the choke stay out until pushed back in.

I will take that for information and later if I still remember I will post the proper sequence and requirements so that all can enjoy the benefits of the exercise. This could be a strain on the brain so it might take more than 1 nap to get it all worked out.

It would be best if you can post a video with the noise. I haven't heard of the second gear issue causing a whine. Try kicking it into third to see what happens.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that it's more or less the same feeling you get while sitting in your easy chair.

Welcome back young fella. Hopefully you'll stick around for a while.

I would start with a nap! Most of my best thinking is done when I am horizontal. I then would locate a coffee, get a seat close to the scoot and sip my beverage. After that I would come up with the conclusion that maybe somebody else might have some good ideas and I would post what the issue seemed to be. Then I would be ready for another nap, after such a hard workout, and wait for a smart ass answer. You're doing good so far,,, carry on.

Baker Air Wings used to make all that kind of stuff.

Yep, thought so. Wasn't that the night we couldn't find a motel anywhere? a coon almost took me out? Marca got cold enough to,,,,,,, and finally we found warm beds?

Good to see you back. Enjoy your ride and look after Lori.

If you keep it, it will most likely just sit there and rot some more, but of you sell it there is a good chance that the new owner might restore it or at least bring it back enough to be used. Which would your dad do?

Heat with an air gun, not a blow torch.

I;m really thinking he was going home, but I could be wrong.

Got me 3 of those, 2 on the scoot and lost one now that I don't have a tractor to plow snow with,, come to think of it, lost the spinner on the tractor as well. But they do work well. Nice thing about them is that the arms can be heated and then adjusted for different sized mugs,

If that is the inside of the tank, I would be suggesting something maybe.

He doesn't need any sweetening.

Problem with you wandering is when might you get there??? We do have coffee and beer here in Canada eh.

I find that is best done with the hose attached to the breather, then carefully lower into the proper position one little step at a time, in the end a long needle nosed pliers finishes the job. Now if there are 2 people it can go easier, but you'll have to learn to communicate real well.

I'm thinkin that you meant @Dutch Navigatormaybe?

It would help if you can post a picture of the plates, they do need to be lined up proper I think.

Guess you rode all by yourself eh?

If it were mine and I was concerned then I would see if the needles could move further in to increase mileage, or maybe adjust the air-mixture screws a bit. But that would be just me.

So going by what you just said, noise is there with the engine running but when you turn off the ignition and then the ignition back on again the noise continues with the engine off. It almost has to be electrical, and I say almost because strange things happen in this world.

Idle sounds good, now see how it performs on the road eh? No choke always makes me think that it's running a little rich on the idle circuit, not a big deal guess,, just thinking.
