Title: set off a car alarm today
Post by: milo on August 19, 2005, 08:52:30 PM
... with my wileyco. I kinda like it.   :)

But then I felt kinda bad.   :nono:

Now I'm all confused.   :?

Oh well. I'm of the opinion that anyone who has a car alarm in the city should have their tires slashed anyway.

Incidentally, the wileyco is emitting a lot of popping noises when I get off the throttle. Like maybe it's trying to backfire, if this little engine was capable of backfiring. Is this normal (flange has a choker on it)? I've put a couple hundred miles on it and it seems to pull well...

Wait, I can check the plugs for jetting issues, right? I should go figure out how to do that.

A bit of popping when coming off of the throttle is normal.  It's exacerbated by running on the lean side.

I bet the bike was doing it before, and you just didn't notice.
