Folks,
I shared an unusual mechanical failure that almost stranded me on a ride. About 15 miles onto my ride, my engine began running very lean. I had to put about 3/4 choke just for it to pull me at a very slow 5-6 mph speed. Everytime I gave it gas, it bogged down and would die. Starting the engine back up was almost impossible and took lots of pedalling!
I am glad I brought my tools pn my ride and guess what I discovered when I disassembled my carburetor? The main jet had unscrewed itself!
So, please do yourself a favor. Pull your carb and loctite that sucker! I hated smelling like gas for the rest of my ride but at least I didn't have to pedal back home!
