another update!
i hop on my bike, expecting to get my power back... i thought it was the cracked air filter. much to my dissappointment, 20mph max again... disappointed, i close my fuel line while im still on the bike to drain the filter so i can take apart down below and try and figure out what my problem is...
suddenly, i have power! i gleamed as my speedometer roared 23, 24, 25, 26 27mph! i let off for the approaching stop sign. i take a right, and open the filter again. 20mph. i close, it, and 27,28,29!
i hear rattling...
i quickly stop... and realize my killswitch is still broken and in need of replacing. i quickly hop off and disconnect the blue-blue connection and the engine sputters to a stop.
lost a nut on the rear engine mount. still have one. i can match it at Ace Hardware. too bad metric is expensive...
but now WHY am i FLYING with the fuel line CLOSED and CRAWLING with the fuel line OPEN!?
im happy cuz i can duplicate the problem, now!
(once again... 20:1 ratio, about my 5th tank of gas. im new at this... i know i should check the bolts more often.)
