    Cooley taken out of storage

    Cooley tank and carbs were drained first week of June 2015 when i hurt my arm badly. Took the skunk over to the storage unit and drain the gas from it and the carbs and put it in the Cooley so I could bring it to the shop and fix the broke rear turn signal. Due to taking the time to do the proper storage procedures, she fired off like it had been ran yesterday..all 4 pipes got hot like normal. Just rode 20 miles perfectly.

    Moral of the story is to do the proper storage things for the winter down time and in the spring it will be turn the key and ride away.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

    Good to know
    I guess it doesnt really matter what part of the country you're from, all the fuel should be about the same?
    I use Startron for fuel treatment

    I usually only let my bike sit a week tops, then go out and run it for a bit, if its a rainy or snowy day/s, or when it's broken, thats the only rest it gets.

      Well I have 12 bikes....so storage prep is a must. And it only takes a few minutes for the gas to be drained into a can. I use a cat food tin under the bowls to drain them while the tank is draining'
