I started down the road this morning and hadn't even went 1/10 mile when it died. Continued to ride it around for about 1/2 mile trying to get it to start again with no luck. Now I'm late for work and I have to drive the truck again.
I knew from reading that the HT's were going to take some work, but I didn't actually expect it to be broken down more times than not. I don't mind tinkering with things. I doesn't bother me to have to check everything before riding or replace gaskets and bolts and keep the nuts and cables tight. But I'm only wanting to ride it a few miles a day and so far it hasn't been worth the trouble. If this problem is not something simple and cheap, I'm seriously thinking about trashing this thing.
And yes, I know there are more reliable engines, but if I'm going to pay $500-$600 I would rather buy a small scooter or motorcycle. At least I would have more range that way. (with a motorcycle anyways)
