Test 1

Well. I didn't see any obvious badness with broken/cracked hoses. Time to see how I run with things running on the reserve setting. I'm nervous as hell now that I'm headed to work, then Diesel on a bike that is being spazzy. But I have to make this go while it's not actively raining.  Also, the bike will be sitting on pavement instead of grass for a few hours. I can see if there's any leak better this way.

ETA: Well, one stall out after I pushed the choke in- it might have gone from mid-way to off entirely. But I survived, as expected. Now let's hope the rain holds off and the crick don't rise afore I get home tonight.

The weather is not looking good

I'll be at D if you need an emergency ride home.

So noted. It has been going OK. I need to get the bike home before I go to Ohio, which means enmoistening myself more than I like at some point this evening. Probably. :/ Thanks.

I think I missed the beginning of this saga where you have a specific problem with the bike. What's going on, again?

Also, riding with the choke on delivers too much fuel and will foul your plugs (er, plug... it's a single, right?), which will make your ride much less smooth and will eventually need fixing, too.

I'm really wondering if it's just a cheap gas problem. Further testing will have to wait until I get back from the mom visit.
