WHAT DID YOU DO???

[Anonymous]

Just got me out of a LARGEjam! Thanks to the accumulated wealth of information, stored in the archives, and the great virtually on line support, from the gs gurus, my daughter and I completed a Saddlesore 1000 this last Thursday. On June 4, that goal was not looking good, as I had just gotten my bike back from a repair facility that had not done the work, and took 5 weeks to not do it. I was facing 5 days of 12 hour shifts, a day off, then the ride. Thanks to timely information, and burning the midnight oil, I cleaned the carbs, manually synched the carbs using the drill bit method, and put it all back together, with much prayer. At 2130 hours, June 9, all was ready for a test ride. The 100 mile test run showed that all seemed to be good. The end result is the fuel economy increasing from the mid 20's (imperial gallons are 20% larger than US gallons) to 38 mpg on the 1000 mile trip!!

Again THANK YOU

John (and daughter Holly)
