Maybe I'm losing it, and maybe not. I replaced my fuel lines with high quality reinforced material last fall. Today was a good day for us here in central New England as the temp actually wiggled up above 50 slightly. I skipped out on work at 2, and got my cb ready for spring start. I was surprised to find how hardened the lines had become, even though they had been drained, and in a heated garage all winter. At the end of last season, Scott (S-Dog) had noted that my carb intake boots were hard as a rock, which they weren't when I started the bike up after it had been apart for 2 years.
How long are lines and boots going to last now that there's all this alcohol in our fuel? What other parts should I watch out for? Kind of a drag!.
On the bright side, my 35 year old bike started right up. Unfortunately riding it a bit reminded me of all the things I need to do that I'd forgotten about.
