I found this one out just as I finished merging from the on-ramp onto Mangere Bridge.

Emergency lanes are your friend when you can barely manage 20kph.

That's not the needle jet is it?

Did it unscrew? Most odd...

Xer, what is your emulsion tube doing hanging out for the world to see.

Cover it up young man. (the ladies will get excited).

Young xer has still to learn the subtleties of thread pressure methinks.

Hahah, yes. `Finger tight'.

Clearly not Honda-poof-boy finger-tight, I needed BSA hard-man finger-tight.

Oh well, all back together now. Seems to be running OK.
