Tis magic! You posted it in Announcements. Thought it would be better in Events so I moved it. Just doing me housework & tidying the place up. You wouldn't believe how much dust there is here inside your monitor Bobbi.  :)

Ah well, that's another I didn't get to!  Still got probs with the trike - think I ran out of fuel a couple of miles from home (thought I had enough to get to the garage) so Mike came out with a can, but it still wasn't running right, so I did a few more miles then went home.

If I hadn't been so indecisive about whether to go on or go home, I could have gone down in the car and taken some phots of them arriving back, and had a natter with old friends....  never mind, I went home a different way and gave the trike a good test.  Think I'm going to hand it to a professional to sort - there's no way I can deal with getting the carbs off and I'm pee'd of with it now anyway.

Hang in there Bobbi! Don't let it get you down Hon. It was running fine last Summer as I recall. What have you changed since then? Rainbow says to drop her an email if you fancy some company for a ride out.

Haven't changed anything but I ran out of fuel and I reckon I got some muck in the carbs, also of course the old fuel may have gummed up the jets.
Plus I got fuel tap problems.

Gonna phone a bloke I know tomorrow, he rebuilt the gearbox for me a few years ago, he's a professional but has a workshop at the back of his garden and charges that much less than the big bike repair places, also he won't tell me I need new this that and the other. 

I just want it to be reliable again, and I don't have the time or the energy to sort it, or the strength in my habd to mess about trying to get carbs off.  So I'm gonna pay - as long as he can fit it in fairly soon that is!
