Thanks Brad, I will consider that. It could be an opportunity for a twist on the 'catch the rubber bouncy ball' game..
lol

Have fun at the wrench session! Seeing as Friday night's weather has been a handful in the OKC area, and there is a forecast for more storms between here and Dallas Sat, I think I'll stay home in Norman. (insert chorus of boos here...)

So... extended wrench session at Hop Along's place

Yes, that is what I would do.

I hope everyone is okay up there. This has been a rough season where tornadoes are concerned.

The doors are still going open at 0900 this morning for anyone else. I know Jim Tindall is on his way.

After all that concern about the weather and it never rained a drop. It looks better now than it did this morning.

Jim and Jerry made it in and together we tackled the Suzuki C50 project that Jim has on his plate. Got all the parts on, the tank cleaned up and the fuel system back together. A new battery and then nothing. No fuel getting to the engine. it would spit and fire on brake cleaner sprayed into the air box but nothing else. We finally got it tracked back to the kickstand switch and the electric fuel pump.

I gotta get the fuel pump ordered Monday, so this bike will have to wait until after MOOTMaG.

Thanks again Jerry and Jim for hanging in there with this one. I am determined to get it running and on the road at the next opportunity.

Enjoyed working on the bike thanks for lunch and the cookies hopefully a new fuel pump will get her running again.

... and nary a cloud in the sky of Norman. Ah well. It was a good day of working on my own, brake piston seals, sprockets and chain, tightened some loose bolts, coolant change (man I make a mess doing that....)
See everyone at MOOTMag!
