......some of you may have heard the sad news already...ive lost my stuttering twin... after a brief moment of mourning ,the time it took to drink my tea,iam back on my bike to work....coming home today the bike was a lot smoother,but on first start up this morning the stutter was still there for about 1/2 miles,which got me thinking,ive never checked the choke plunger and still on the origanal....never needed to use it as it always starts fine without it...not had a lot to do with choke plungers so will strip whats left of my spare carbs and see how they work
also had to fill up on the way home,as after yesterdays ride out left me feeling a bit dry,the last fill up didnt seam to last long![]()
