 That makes sense John, I can get the pit bike and the race car tied down in the trailer so my truck can go back in the garage. We had a couple prowlers recently so I have some property securing to do.

Don….. read about your “visitors”. I worry about our race car left in the trailer. It’s behind my shop but fairly close to the road. I just locked a large chain through the wheels and around the axles. If anyone try’s to move it there should be enough noise to wake my dog. She’s the best alarm. A neighbour of mine actually pulls the wheels off his and locks them in the garage!

Occasionally I’ve cleared a  plugged idle jet by going along in second gear at fairly high revs. Close the throttle and pull up the choke lever all the way. If you’re lucky that creates enough vacuum to clear it. Occasionally……

 We did that on the jr. Dragsters. Another dad saw ours flooding and popped off the air filter and put his hand over the carb while I spun the starter. It sucked the dirt right through. Then I tried the glass fuel filters, the methanol swelled the filter screens up tight. That was another dumb idea.
