Hey gang,
I said that I would keep you up to date with developments with the old girl....... After many posts in here and a lot of grunting and groaning of my own fiddling with bits and bobs on the bike....
I finally gave into my inexperience of bike mechanics and rang a local garage... They picked up my bike (which I never did get to restart) and fiddleded with it last week........
It turns out that I had blocked Carbs AND contaminated fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So much for the £10 that I gave a local supermarket petrol station!!! Thanks to that, it cost me £219!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, sure, they freed my front brakes too, but still......
My only gripe with the shop was that they had the gaul to say to my face that I needed a new chain and sprocket, and that I should not leave my bike standing for long as it had 'obviously' been left for a long time!!!!!
I was furious at this!!!!!
They themselves put a new chain and sprocket on my beloved just 5 months ago (did they diddle me then???)..... Plus, I use my bike all the time (anyone here that knows me will verify) for work as well as play!!! They told me that my Chain was on toooo tight (even though another local garage adjusted it for me a couple of weeks ago) and to top it all off, I lube the chain every time that I use the bike!!!!
Crazy!!!!
Anyway.... At least she is back!!!!
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine tooooooooo.
Must get back to work!!!!
