I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

OK, due to being house bound for a week and a half due to the frickin' snow, I appear to be loosing it. Timcat, I apologize. I misread your post and overreacted. But we only do this heavy snow crap every 20 years or so and it just isn't easy anymore. They plowed my road yesterday and it dumped 2 more last night with 5 for today is forecast and 13 more for tonight. And it is suppose to last past Christmas. Again, I apologize.

After that whole thread with burnt_toast, I lost alot of respect for you bear, but you just gained alot of it back IMO (not that you care, and I can't say I don't blame you lol). Not many people can say they're sorry like that, especially not on the internet.

And why don't you send some of that snow down this way? I love the stuff and we haven't had anything but a half inch of ice so far.

I would send all this snow your way if I could. We had another 6" today and suppose to have at least another 6" tomorrow and then 6" more tomorrow night. I did get the quad started today The 3 year old battery wasn't up to cranking it in 20° weather. So I can get out if I have to as long it doesn't get deeper than 18". The wife just measured the snow, 12 1/2" and it is still snowing.

Bear I can kinda feel for ya about the snow, we only have maybe a foot here but I haven't seen a clean road in 3 days. Even if my dirt bike ran good enough to run more than a few minutes its beyond up to the axles and barely moves in this much snow.

The bad part here is that we now have 14" and it is still snowing. The county just does own that much snow removal gear and is not set up to handle this much snow.

If you want an enemy, you are going about it the right way. Either back off or I will make your life here a living *. I don't apologize all that often and you are the reason why. :roll:

Telling someone to disconnect the red wire is like sending the new guy to fetch a skyhook.

* would you go on Mopedarmy looking for Spree stuff, anyway? They're all about 2-strokes, but they hate scooters. Unless you want to talk about how to tune a 2-stroke motor in technical terms: expansion pipes, porting, etc you won't find many ppl able to help.
