Don't re jet. Just clean all the gunk and varnish, and replace worn parts and seals....

OK. It sounded like the carb was rebuilt so I am thinking that there was still some gunk in the fuel tank and that has since clogged the jets on the newly rebuilt carb.

I don't! Hell, life is about having fun. Yeah, it's embarrassing at the moment, but looking back on those times makes ya laugh harder.

I nearly pissed myself in Belgium. Finally found an ally that was pretty discrete, except or the dude a half block back that was staring at me intently as I watered the pavement. Embarrassing, momentarily, but loads of laughs became of it later. I have no regrets.

Do those things (Honda 70s) have fuel filters like in a 911 fuel tank? Where rust and stuff clogs it, car dies, crud falls off, car starts, repeat...

Is Gogar available? He seems to be able to play every instrument at a moment's notice.

Since that other pic did not do her justice, here is a screenshot from her facebook profile picture. I don't feel too bad about posting that since anyone could see that picture anyway.

I might take it down later, though.

He might look out of place with two 14 year olds.

Max, my mom sent me a quote tonight that she was relating to my attitude towards work. It's my attitude, and it's why I'm exceeding at what I do. However it will apply to you and women...

"Decide that you want it, more than you are afraid of it." - Bill Crosby

I want the business, more than I am afraid of the customer. I have walked into shops knowing they don't love my company, but I want the business, and I'm not afraid. One of those shops is starting to turn around. I have made phone calls about 100k projects that are going south, and I don't want to, but I want the relationship, more than I am afraid of the ass chewing...

It seems she likes to partay a bit, based on her FB pix. Max seriously needs to change directions if he's going to try and land this one.

Most bikes don't have a filter, and jets get plugged. Id bet taking all apart and cleaning will do the trick. Just place a small inline filter in right past the tank. Some old datsun pickups had a really good small one that wix makes that works, or you can use one like most lawn mowers use...

Well then, this is going to be a real entertaining semester for all of us. Or not.

I think there is benefit to a mild reject on those 70s, but whatever. Yeah, fuel filters are a very good thing......we just put a Walmart, lawnmower special on the one I worked on.

She's got crazy in her eyes, and if Dave thinks she's a partier.... Sorry max, the current you ain't got a hope....


But she is cute, and would probably be fun....

Your man-card will be permanently revoked if you don't ask her out by the end of the year max.........pretty much the only way to get your man-catd back after that is nailing a movie star or some action that puts you in contention for a CMoH
