    Chris.

    If it wasn’t for the electric motor and a incoming tide we would have been up the perverbial creek.
    We still got two nice bream and two nice flathead for our trouble.

    Hmmmmmm,It is all starting to sound to hard.
    Power head is the head?? Like in leaking head gasket??
    I did notice the two plugs looked different,one kinda had a rusty colour about it and the other was nice and tan,I am thinking it might be getting some water in the top cylinder.

    Dunno, It runs sweet when it is cold but soon as it gets hot it starts spluttering and blowing smoke.
    I put a new throttle control in it last week and it was running fine before.
    The timing advance is connected to the throttle linkages and I was dicking around a bit with the adjustments on that, would that cause it to play up when hot?If the timing advance was incorrectly adjusted?

    Actually, The pro senior will probably just need a carbyectamy and a new plug.Between all the learned characters that will be at my place this arvo I am sure we will have it flying!!!

    If the Pro senior doesn’t wanna play she will have to ride her mini adventure and she ripps on that.She is a bit tall for it though and would have to ride one class down.

    AS per usual we will be in My shed this arvo from 4.30-6.30 for social drinks.
    I have a KTM pro senior that is running like crap, so that is the afternoon chin scratcher for us to work on.
    My daughter wants to race on it on Sunday so I gotta get it going better.
    Also will be discussing a ride for tommorow.
    All welcome.
