Re: She's gone

So why didn't the idiot just ride his bike to work?

Oh right its a weekend warrier toy not a real motorcycle. Just think you only have about 30 more hp then my 174cc 39 year old relic!

Jay, sounds to me like your carb problem might be one of a couple things. I'm assuming you can get it running just fine on starter fluid so I'd guess that compression is out. Is it a vacumn operated petcock? If so try putting a mitty vac on it. If it isn't I'd suspect it has diaphrams in the carbs. If they are torn that could be the problem. Then again, depending on which bike it is it is odd for more than 1 to go at a time.
