Problems with my PC
Written by gibinmich on 7/14/2010 at 10:23 pm

Calm Down! No new carbs needed, just a good going through. I think with my
limited mechanical knowledge even I could handle it. You should be ashamed for
letting your "crown jewel" sit for so long, Ya gotta ride'm at least a little
bit. What other types of bikes do you have in your collection? So long and good
luck!

charge or stop after a few miles. I can imagine, without anything changing over
time, this could very well be the reason. You started the engine, this took that
much electricity there is not much left. Perhaps you jump-started it and did not
tell in the message. No good functioning is to be expected under these
conditions. Fuel could go bad and the filter clogged with the rest product.
Preventing is the best option but a stronger dose of special treatment product
could still solve these problems. I agree with that but a few months is not much
of a problem.
