dunes? who wants to go

[Brian P]

This sounds awesome, I wish I could make it, I have wondered how my BMW would do out there... Maybe someday in the future.

 

[Gravy]

I've called 4 people on ksl to buy their paddle tires. not one return call. lame.

Let's meet at sand mountain. I'd like to carpool if anyone wants to. Save some money on gas!

 

[Gravy]

got a paddle tire

 

[rholbrook]

Jessor, can you share your Sand Mountain experience with us please? One of the best stories out there because it involves FIRE. You tell the fire story and you can take my WR and go with them.

 

[Gravy]

For those of you who want to car pool; you can meet at my place at 8am or i can meet you further south on my way. I have room for a few bikes.

 

[Cascadia]

Who all is going so far and when do you plan on passing by Orem? I might go pick up a paddle from rmatv today if I have time.

 

[Gravy]

So far it sounds like:
Me
Tonkaman
Harper
Jon
Nick (maybe)
BCGPER (maybe)

 

[Tonkaman]

Heck yeah I'm excited!

 

[Shawn]

I'm game, when you thinking?

The Hardley should do well.... :0)

 

[Cascadia]

I hope I have my bike back in time. I had to take it back in cause it was running rough. They told me today the whole carb has to be cleaned and soaked so I hope I have it back by tomorrow night.

 

[jeeper]

What is the estimated time of return?

 

[Cascadia]

Doesn't look like ill be going. Bummer! I still don't have my bike back and they can't figure out what it is either. It starts, runs awesome until its warm and then it starts backfiring, sputtering, and running rough until it eventually dies. Then it takes another 209 kicks to get it started again. Sounds like a bad case of bad luck. It sucks!

 

[Gravy]

Lame dude! Sucks

I'm stoked!

Paddle is mounted!

 

[Gravy]

It gets dark pretty early. I think harper is leaving around 2. We may stay later probably

 

[rholbrook]

Needle and seat in the carb, thats my vote. It hooks to the float in the bowl. The needle can get a ring around it that will not let it seal off.

That paddle looks a little clapped out.

Wouldn't you think an atv/dirt bike repair place would know this or is this something that could easily be looked over?

What about bad gas flow from tank to carb... Carb can fill up while sitting for long time, but runs out and cant refill to keep bike running?

Already tried that and cleaned where it comes out of the tank and replaced the fuel line. Nothing changed.

Depends on the mechanic doing the work. They thought cleaning the carb was all it needed and possibly didn't inspect the need and seat.
