I met up with Hesogood and elissama for some dirty riding today. I got there about 45 early, I had cleaned my carb and put a new plug in and hadn't really tested it. One loop showed me 2 things, it was MUDDY/WET and I couldn't get the bike up on the pipe. I got a vintage 1987 KLX200 2smoke. I pulled back in to the parkinglot and started going over stuff again, plug, airbox, carb.. just then the other 2 showed up. I also just then found my problem. It had been a few months since I rode and there was a mouse nest IN THE REED CAGE. I hadn't seen it when I cleaned the carb. ( there was no sign of mouse activity ) My bad for not looking. 15 minutes later I was up and running and they were geared up and we headed out. WET was an understatement. There were puddles up to the carb. We plowed through and had a great time. Did a couple more trails and headed back to the Parking lot. I had to adjust a rear brake pedal and elissama had to adjust her idle. We went back out after a quick bottle of water. Learned a few things today. Don't forget spare clothes...and elissama does a great superman into puddles... I left about 12:30 for prior commitents and they went back out on another loop. FUN day !
