Okay, What have you done?
"Hahaha
Not a daggon thing...I was riding to work this morning and she died on me and I had to push her home.
Remember when I broke down on my trip to CA and OI came to help? We thought it was the spark splug but it wasn't. Well it's acting the same way (sputtering like it has no gas, and yes the gas was turned on, but will push start sort of). What ended up being the "cure" at that point was pulling the carb, cleaning it and putting it back on. When we pulled it there were some teeny tiny metal shavings in there, and it wasn't possible to know if it was from when I was chopping stuff (and maybe didn't plug up all of the holes as well as I should have), or if the piston is rubbing...
All in all, I have no issue with fixing whatever the real problem may be...just curious about the possibilities of putting a stronger engine (or maybe something with more cylinders) in there.
I've pretty much fallen in love with the little "chopper" I've built, but wouldn't mind being able to go just a little faster for a little longer. And if I just buy a faster bike, it will end up looking the exact same so might as well explore the options of just throwing something else in there.
