    Almost always a mechanical pump (or pumps). Nowdays they very rarely fail.If they do, odds are it is because something else broke first and a broken bit got into the pump or its drive. Blockages are more common.

    Does doing frequent roll starts (I always used to roll start my RG150) damage drive train (Chain, Sprocket) components? As they are not really designed to take load going that way?

    Not really. The impact loading on a small two smoker isn't anything much. And a chain drive is bidirectional.

    Indicating

    Ok, this may have been asked already but I can't be arsed looking through the thread. Time is Money afterall.

    Question: What is an easy way to remember to turn my bloody indicator off after going around a corner?? I find I leave it on for too long.

    Or salt the earth under your bike.

    That'll learn them.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    There's always one (and also a willing partner in crime).

    It was actually a serious question. I'm forever having to wash them off. Got the (proper) answers I need now.

    Don't leave slug bait lying around if you have a dog!! Dogs love slug bait, right up to the point where it kills them.

    Most dog owners probably know this, but just in case....
