my express
« on: January 31, 2010, 11:10:52 PM »

Hey guys,

I'd like to call for a brief moratorium on anyone riding the express, at least until we get it fixed up.  We put a brand new cylinder on it, and I know its being ridden around without an air filter.  This is what destroyed the first cylinder.

Plus, Mike drained the tank, and there was straight gas in it.  It needs premix cause we disabled the oil injector.

I know it needs to be gone, and I know it's fun to ride around the block, but I need it to be in running order when we try to sell it.  I'll try to come over this week and get it together and out of the shop.

<3 you
Annie

oops , I'm sorry,, I went over and poured a quart fo rubbing alchol in the tank and took it for a little ride,, figured it'd clean it out,,, just as the tears were streaming thru my crows feet, it made a funny noise,, made the rear tire skid, and I had to walk it back carrying the back wheel off the ground home,,, I hit it with a hammer a couple of times, and it wouldn;t come undone,, probaby,, too hot still< I'll try again tommorrow,, that aint got oil in it,,? where its leaking at now ,,huh?

It's okay, Beez!  I think its probably fine.  Just wanted to let people know that even though it is running, probably shouldn't be run just yet...
