Roxy: Odometer Log - 17,594


Filled up on gas and calculated 76 mpg on this carb.

But not a great GGP ride.  Stalled a couple times in the garage, stalled when slowing for a turn in GGP, and very hard hot start at the gas station.  Also rode with headlight on (up until the GGP stall).  Wonder if that could have been a factor...?

But battery good at 6.4v and spark plug toasty brown with no more signs of build-up.  I think it's just trying to learn her warm start quirks.  Will need to test 5-10 min warm starts for awhile until I figure it out.

One post suggested kick once with ignition off, then kick with ignition on.  Reasoning is that an air-cooled bike needs a leaner mix to start when warm.
