I am glad someone will be there :lol: May need a pull start.
Met up with Broken1 around 10:30. Kevin's bike starts first kick while I am huff and puffing kicking the beast over. Then Kevin gives it a few kicks with no luck also. So wee hooked up the tow rope and proceeded to pull start. The bike was loaded from fuel as the throttle cable had been stuck in the open position. Upon starting it revved out of control. Blipping the throttle and checking the cable while turning the idle down it suddenly dropped down to an acceptable level. Spent the rest of the day riding and trying to adjust the throttle. Still won't idle on its own.
ATVcrazy stopped by as they were leaving as one motor had the cylinder broke/cracked the other has a pinhole in the water spigot. Those ones are such a pain because you really can't see the hole but you attempt to get it to seal without knowing it worked or not. Dave did not want to ride around on the warm day with the temps climbing each next dune you hit.
A guy with a couple 3 wheelers parked between Broken1 and I so he pulled his rig around next to mine. The guy wanted to drag race me but I declined as I did not have my tire pressure set to drag and had not done any tuning on the smart carb. I did try a couple hill climbs with great success. Pulling wheelies going over the top. The float bowl was filling fast enough to keep up with the motor. So my main complaint had been alleviated.
The Kid stopped by later in the day as he had missed us at 9:30 cause we about and hour late. His black 88 looks pretty cool. He was riding with some Banshees.
Didn't get any pics. It was a little cloudy but sun burnt the heck out of me. Me and Kevin BS'd about 250rs for a couple hours and loaded up around 7:30. Seems you don't get much done sitting around BSing drinking beer and entertaining everyone in the parking lot. One guy Matt Graves who used to do alot of seat covers back in the day stopped by and introduced himself. He used to build seat covers for 250r's for Arlan when he had LRD. Everyone sees my Chrome LED pipe and silencer and has to ask how Arlan set my bike up.
Kevins bike looks in real good shape. Nice blue paint and alot of chrome and polished aluminum. His dad is a machinist and has all the equipment needed to fix worn cases. He is going to bore out the shift fork holes and install bushings. Some guys just don't have the money for new cases. If you need any parts Kevin just let me know. I will cover you on the paypal if you want something from any member on here.
