Lately I seem to be fixing the same thing over and over again. To make it worse its my own fault. A few weeks ago I got gas just before my cousin came up to visit, I was planning on taking him out for rip in Pe'pe. Well about 15 min into the tour of the ocala forest it quits on me! Keep in mind I had pulled all my spares and most tools out of the bag when I was driving it since I parked the roadster.
So I switched ignition boxes, nothing. Pulled the fuel line off the carb and had him crank it over. No fuel, ok check the filter. No large amounts of anything in it. Pulled the line off and blew back into the tank. All Ok. I ended up putting it together with out the fuel filter and it ran fine. Got it home, cleaned out some gas that was at the bottom of the tank. We drove it the next weekend with out any problems(oh I did get gas at walmart this time insted of the citco).
So, this weekend we took it out again and got gas at the same station I had the first time and guess what it happened again. My filter blocks sediment and water and it was clogging up. I put a spare filter in and got it home. Drained off some gas and put in an additive. Realy mad at my self for getting gas there again. I did also find a vacume cap that had split so its all back to gether and has the full soft top on ready for Isaac,
which never came.
Maybe this weekend I can actuly take it out and enjoy it for a while!
