It rains, it pours
"cabbage crates coming over the briney?" "Sorry old chap we don't understand your banter" MPFC Season 4 Episode 3God's Glory shines anyway all the time even when I want to slap the dash and cuss (I actually restrained myself)
Soooooooooooo...
The Honda took a waspy and Buttercup flipped over on her Betty Harper's.
Honda rabbits at 2700 rpm, I had scanned the trouble code and replaced the parts affected like, two months ago but, it still does it sporadically. The quick fix is pull over and turn off the ignition and start it up and it will run okay. It hadn't been doing it much until today. Pulled over twice on the way home from Boone. Not good Squiffy.
Before that I went out to the bank on my bike and when I stopped at the atm I saw a puddle under it, that wasn't oil, it was gas coming out the carburetor overflow so, I came home and drove the Honda and it did its thing. I'm gonna go take the fuel bowl off it may just be trash on the float needle, I hope. If it needs rebuilding a kit is $35.06 from J&P Cycle. I don't mind, it's one of the joys of old bikes. I like working on pre computer controlled vehicles. A P1259 Variable Valve Timing code is no fun at all because, everything on modern vehicles is shoehorned into the engine compartment and that makes stuff hard to get to. I replaced the parts by using a mirror to see where the bolts were and then by feel, while my forearms were getting scratched by all the crap I had to snake through to reach the darn thing. Yeeeech! Don't get me started. Well, shut up. Good idey my friend.
By comparison, the space under the hood of my 78 Chevy truck is so big, I would set a 2by8 board across the fenders and lay on top of it, it made things so easy. The good news is I have to be at the country club at 2:30pm tomorrow yay work!
