Any body else ever get that way?? It will pass, just need to go for a good ride and clear the head instead of wrenching EVERY single night!! :cry : Got the Kawi 160 air fliter all assembled, started........blahhhh... Took carb back off, needle is freakin broke and had tape on it???? No wonder it ran funny?? So I moveto the Alt.....its started hard, now leaking gas around primer??? Huh.... onto a 70......... new bearings in front.......... started her....... ran than died. Pulled cover and pullstart, cleaned all up...still runs like shiznit??? Points........?????? Good lord at least the 110 started and ran!! Big red fouled plug last night??? And I am in the middle of a flat track 70 build??? Good gosh man..... I need some more beer and a long trike ride all!!! Whew... that felt good....

    I hear you on that one. I have a basket case 200x project and a grand cherokee motor badgering me in my garage. sometimes i'll just go out there and pace not knowing what to work on lol. I'm sure you guys got some snow last night, so go do some donuts and take it from there

    Cheers!

    I am in the same boat and had to step back a bit. I have the trizinger and cagiva going on, need to do some reworking on the barbie 70, have the KLX400 tore completly down to make a desert racer ( dont ask me why ) and my cruiser has some strange problem tjhat i cant figure out. So instead of stressing i just shut the garage and decided to take a break.
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.

    Tell me bout it guys. 350X tore down to the frame and engine in pieces for a rebuild. Old Dirty getting some much needed attention, Beater 200X getting a quick rebuild (kicker gears). Two 70's that deperately need some attention.
    Oh yea, and very little money to do so. I'll focus onthe 350 for now.

    Snowmobile waiting for parts from the stealer, 200x that needs finished up, and a 110 that has no spark. At least my CraigsList snowblower I bought a couple months back worked good yesterday after a carb rebuild.

    Well I'm ready to start hitting it hard ,we finally got all the harvesting all wrapped up for the season an most of the deer hunting is out of the way,I mite geta few more day's in but for the most part I'm ready to roll.I have enough to keep me going for the whole winter already and people knocking on the door wanting to get in,just pick a number is all I can say..I get burned out bigtime every year ,it's just the nature of the beast I guess,with family -holiday's - daily scheduling and everything else going on a guy's just gotta put it in 1st gear sometime's ,slow down and smell the roses,My motto is that if your not having fun doing something it begings to feel like work but I'm ready to start having some fun....

    Im kinda bummed out. About a month ago i completely stripped my running/driving tecate down so i could rebuild it this winter. I was so excited it didnt matter if there was snow or not, i was going to have a nice machine. Now that money is getting in the way and my t3 sits in pieces in my garage im wishing i would have left it complete so i could at least ride it this winter. I cant see putting old bearings and what not back in just to ride so i guess it will just sit in boxes until i can get the money. No snow rides for me Then i goto college on top of it and finals are this week! Stress i tell ya, stress
