Expand That's why i stay away from the stuff where i can. My car is supposed to run on super unleaded but will run fine on E10 but i found i get more MPG when i run on E5 so it cancels out the price difference between the two fuels and the car runs better on E5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 @Pedro If the bike has been left for a while there’s a very good chance that the the o-ring on the needle valve has perished so the petrol is filling the float bowl and then leaking out of the drain hose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home I did exactly that as I remembered this one time many years ago when I took the bowl off for changing the jets. A few taps fixed the leaking problem, however with all the fussing I fucked up the magic procedure to start the bike so it didn't and I left it for tomorrow. Also took apart a compost box in my garden as there are suspicions it might have been converted to a snake nest. There are a lot of small lizards and stuff like that living in the wild bush that is my garden, and they slither around when I'm around, but after a few more or less big snakes were seen I have become a little skittish of grabbing into grasses. Snakes here are mostly non venomous and eat rodents, but they are very aggressive and will make for painful encounters.

Pedro Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Sitting outside with a coffee and calling clients enjoying a chill morning with little wind. Will take the opportunity of little wind to treat my tree against aphids. This is a lovely work / countryside balance when it works. Then later will get on the bike and go out for lunch, this time in what looks like a success judging by the blue skies. It's going to get hot in the weekend, 31º isn't that normal for this time of year yet, 20º and perfect today so quite a big difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
