I wonder how he managed to be a member here for a number of YEARS and hasn't realized that most members here razz on each other constantly.

oh well...

 

Some people just have bad days I suppose, and I also suppose that his bad day caused a ripple effect in the time space continuum, and now he hates us

 

I hate to say it , but I've seen him have a few other "bad days" like this over on ADV.
I hope he gets over it, and checks back in.

 

I would bet it's the rust particles from the backfire screen messing up the carb. Once he cuts out the screen and gives it a good cleaning it should all work fine. You guys need to stop being so nasty to people. It hurts my feeling. (My wife say I only have one, but I doubt it) I'm sure Rob is just frustrated with the bike. Once he fixes it, he'll be back to throw some poop back over the fence.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking.
Yeah, frustration gets people worked up, some more than others. But really, I don't remember any hurtful comments in this thread up until TNC's jesting comment about a lot of whining and getting a KTM.

 

Yep...ask Dan...I'm a mean, cruel, hurtful SOB...and I enjoy pulling the wings off of butterflies.

 

I used to staple gun them to the fence boards and then used my dad's propane torch to burn them alive, but that was along time ago in 2012.

 

I was just reading Rob's update on adv. Sounds like he got it fixed. Hopefully he'll check in here and share.

 

are they called butterflies?
Would it not make more sense to call them flutterbys??

 

I got to say after reading his update too, I will not take something apart without a parts diagram, unless I know for certain I can reassemble successfully with my eyes closed.
Especially a carb, I just don't work on them that often to know, for certain.
Taking it apart, no problem. Not so good with the reverse, at least not without a picture book.
But I'm stupid that way.
Glad he got it fixed.
