A bonus year end scooting because of the warm weather. I think the little nut on one of my gear cables is stripped because it keeps coming loose, but no matter. I want to take the motor out to do some work too it over the winter anyway.

There's lots of interesting graffiti in my hood, but I have to move fast, because the places that get the good tagging also tend to get torn down shortly thereafter.
For example this place was bulldozed like a week or so ago, probably now on its way to becoming condos. ![]()

I've been looking forward to this post, 36° at home and gonna hit 63° here today. And I got my sweet P going with no serious hassle after checking the plug and a small squirt of gas down carb throat.
So time for a quick test ride 6 blocks down to the square for some chow from my favorite gyro shop, they know me well. The old smallie w/ all the stickers was a little more challenging, after I got it going it dies on the test ride 3 blocks from the shop. I finally discovered the primary lead had slipped off the coil spade so no spark, the connector was pretty loose. So I rolled back to the shop, squeezed the spade connector a bit and now it stays tight on the coil, runs like a champ. That red PK pos however ... we still got some wrestling to do it seems. ![]() Tinkering
![]() It's a runner!
![]() Down to the square
![]() Two classic gyros, please
![]() And the hot rod smallie has just officially left the building
