Haha! yep thats the one

Saturday week ago, heading out SH 2 about 2 km past Maramarua, I pulled in behind a guy whose RGV had just quit for no apparent reason.

He lived just back down the road.

Even though there was plenty of fuel in the tank, changing from normal to reserve got him going again and I followed him as far as the Coromandel turnoff.

Was that you and if so, did you ever figure out what was going on with the fuel system?

ha! Yea mate that was me. Thanks for stopping!

I'm not entirely sure what happened then. I did have a problem with the front cylinder's spark plug cap falling off and it only running on one cylinder hence causing it to die. Could have been that??

Anyway on my way home I had completly forgotten it was put onto reserve and because I was giving it hell I ran outta juice!

Never realised how fast these damn things drink the gas. Its quite thirsty (when giving it death anyway )

Thanks for helping me out ...

Maybe, but I would have thought that the loss of one pot would just result in a serious loss of power rather than kill it. She would be unlikely to idle on just one lung though.

You're welcome - pass it on if you get the chance.

For various reasons, two smokers tend to be fairly low compression which limits their economy a bit. However, I reckon there are few machines which are as thirsty as a high performance 2-stroke having its neck wrung.
