Figure on at least 2k to get it up and running, maybe more. So is 3k too much for something you might be happy with? And don't forget the time spent to fix it.

They are on the slow boat from China, and now waiting to get unloaded outside the harbour.

I think that's exactly the point, 'reality' not 'virtual reality'.

Refreshing new type of ad. It takes an Icelander.

Ahhh you poor fella, I feel soooo sorry for you to have to ride in that kind of weather. Should we do a 'fundme' for yah? so you can get something better?

For the winter I drain the carbs, park it so that it's out of the way and come spring I go wake it up. Never used a tender, have run reg and AGM, and can't say I've had an issue. If you have a parasitic drain then I would take the positive cable off of the battery. Now you have lots of opinions to confuse you.

Plugs at $2 ea sends up a red flag. A lot of plugs are knock-offs that may seem to be the real item but are not and will give you grief in short order. Best hang on to the used ones until you are sure about the ones for $2. Now you may have got a good deal, not saying you didn't, but most often you get what you pay for. After my experience buying supposedly Champion plugs from a local hardware store, and finding they didn't work, I now only buy plugs from a jobber and not even Canadian Tire.

Are you doing the wheelbarrow next? Nice work on the scooter, bet you looking forward to it being all done and able to ride.

Plugs look good to me, but then I'm not the right expert maybe.

A slow drip will evaporate quite quickly. If it's your 87, fuel will not flow without the pump running because the top of the tank is below the bottom of the carbs. So no need to worry about a stuck float for this reason, it may be stuck but would not have emptied the tank.

Thanks for posting Don. Jim will be missed, he always very helpful in what he could do. I hope he went to where I'm going so we can meet again. Prayers for those left behind, as of yet.

Yep, you are 100% right It's a sign of the times and of things to come. The hand writing is on the wall.

It seems that in the case of finding new immigrants there are 2 sides to the story, the good and the bad. Our countries can use good immigrants and there are folks we could 'rescue' from their places of trouble and give them a btter life. (feed the hungry). Immigration is the only story that has 2 sides, so does climate change, covid,,,,, and others. The trick is how to help the one side and keep the other in check. Both sides use some truth and also some mis-truth and mis-information. Maybe if can get everybody to stick to the truth and only the truth things would work out better. The Good Book says that liars will not enter heaven, maybe we should spread that message a bit more. JMT

Lookin better all the time!! Do you ship to Canada?

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.
