So, the sun is getting higher, the ice that's in the direct sunlight is showing signs of melting, on the surface, and the porch where my bike is stored is warm in the afternoon sun. HOWEVER, it's STILL New Hampshire, and the actual air temperature is on the low side of 20F, and its COLD outside!! Time for my first winter ride! I swear, my bike has one heck of an air conditioner! At about 20mph after one or two minutes I thought my ears were going to fall off. I rode about three miles, that was PLENTY.......back to the barn until (maybe) May!
I have a question for anyone who has cold weather experience with these engines (chinese 48cc). I never had a problem with the engine cutting out, until today. Today my engine kept cutting out. I do NOT think it was any kind of a fuel problem, but I'm wondering if the carb was icing up or something. Several times it quit and jump started itself, and once it actually quit entirely, and I had to pedal to restart. After the engine got heated up it ran much better, but I've never had a problem with the engine running rough even if it was just started and not up to operating temperature. ANY IDEAS? Thanks!
