Title: lol DOH!
Post by: cyberdork on November 06, 2009, 07:08:28 PM
Recieved my jets and o-rings from Buddha (thank you sir), installed them, and fired it up. Started damn near instant, no idle problems and ran perfectly. In my excitement I slapped everything together and took it out in the driveway, hit a patch of leaves going maybe 3 mph and front end went out. Scratched and cracked the circular engine cover on the right side. I was so happy with how good it was running that I didn't even go into rage mode. Damn leaves and damn my amatuer ways.

Luckily for you there's no oil behind that cover, just clean it up and jbweld it back together.

I wouldn't say it's a bad sign, just a lesson to remember to be more careful next time. Those wet leaves are bad news. A good sign is that it happened in your driveway at 3mph, instead of if half lean in a corner at 40mph.
