You need a reason to buy tools??
Not me !!
Yea! If I dont have it, that is a good enough reason to go buy it.
Well here is my Homer moment, short but hard lesson learned about two strokes.
I just bought the RD had to go home as I had a bunch of stuff to do at home and planed on putting her through the paces and fine tune her when I got done with my other BS. So I didn’t get done with my stuff until midnight, perfect time to hit the road for a little spin.
Start her up do a little pre check, lights work, oil is full, tools, extra plugs are sitting on the steps next to my gloves, hop on and go!
Ha-ha weeeeeee! I’m zipping around the neighborhood at 12am waking everybody up, everything is doing fine but I start bogging down. Better get out on the road and light her up. Much better, for a little bit then she’s losing power. I’m thinking the plugs are getting fowled, better giver some more juice and keep on going, farther and farther from home.
Blub blub, dead. Huh, I’ll just pull over and change the plugs out no big deal.
So I pull over hop off and check everything out, open the seat to get my plugs & wrench…no plugs! Check my pockets, nothing!
Five miles away from home, pushed her all the way. Get home some hours latter, pissed, and as I am walking up the steps to go into the house there they are, right where I left them. Two brand new plugs. :x
Lesson learned: never leave home on a two stroke without extra plugs.
