Back in the day, I commuted on mine on some 95-degree Indiana days. With lots of LONG red lights. I found that 35mph was the magic minimum speed to keep enough air going over the fins to keep the motor bearably cooled off. There were some rides where the motor would try to seize before I got home, because of all the unavoidable sitting at lights. "Rr-rrrr-rrrr-*CKGGH*-rrrr..."
Sorry to annoy you.
He's not annoyed.
I'll be back, LOL
HUH? the points setting is critical to running if it's running decent on both they aren't far off of where they should be.
That won't be a gas cap issue then, that'll slowly lean out the mix till the motor stumbles to a halt.
Run it with the fuel cap unlatched.
Thank you. I do have a replacement fuel cap seal in my “cart” waiting for purchase right now. I noticed the current one is dry rotted and cracked pretty well.
He means actually open the fill cap, no smoking during the test....
Like Marty said, I wasn’t annoyed, just sometimes if I take the time to look into what I may have some questions about it makes it easier for others to understand the problem and me to understand the answer.
There was a nice repair done with weatherstripping over at XS11.club. Same clocks. You’ll have to search a bit like here.
Genuine parts aren’t always a bargain but if the chinesium rubber ones fall apart in a short time figure those factory seals lasted 47 years.
I was thinking about using weather stripping. I also saw a guy on here used a very large, thick o-ring and that looked decent.
*sigh*. You are probably correct.
What Jim said.
