Roxy: Nothing Worse than Intermittent

There's nothing worse than a problem that is sometimes there and sometimes not.  After spending an hour last night where the bike would not hold idle for more than 10 seconds, today she idled strong off a cold start and never even wavered.

The one thing I did was I jury-rigged the choke handle lever back on using electrical tape followed by a zip-tie.  But with the engine running, I pulled it off to see if that caused an air leak, but the engine continued to idle strong.

The only thing I can think of is that overnight, the stoppage in the slow circuit dissolved away.  But if that's true, it means it could come back at any time.  I should change the fuel filter and clean the air filter just to be safe.


Not pretty, but I'll put a good one on eventually...
