Odd. Very odd.

We had a bit of fun with the Mrs's MR2 , almost exactly as you describe ( no squirrels ) turned out that the wiring harness retainer clips on 2 of the injector nozzles had broken and the slightest touch to the harness would cause the loss of one or two cylinders

[sinfull]

Far too simple, but i'd go check the battery terminals !

I'd go for the Fuel cack disturbance, rust, water, unspecified debris. Your neg G could possibly have caused the fuel pump to suck in any of the above or even momentarily, just air. It would fit with the cavitation noises and the later return to full function. Did you have much fuel or just swillings?

Good luck anyway mate, mysterious faults are a bastard.

Maby go back to the spot and see if you can do it again....

I did , more or less. Rode back home on the same road, same bridge, same speeds , no problems at all.

I would be quite happy to add it to the long list of WIS (Weird Inexplicable Shit) that I have accumulated over the years, and put it down to quantum, or sunspots. Just so long as it is not the first harbinger of Infuriating Shit that Gets Steady Worse until it finally leaves me stranded 50 Miles from WopWop, at night, in the rain.

Stick some Amals on it!
Should fix it in a jiffy!

Sounds like a shit modern bike to me

Fix what? Its ability to idle?

Amal GPs FTW

Amal GPs FTW

Is it me or what? but some posts just look like a bunch of letters to me!
Now days people seem able to write a whole sentance without actually using a real word

Whats Amal? I take it it's not the Shi'a political movement founded by Musa al-Sadr but rather a type of carburetor!
Gps is what? the Moto GP or a Gobal positioning (little) system
And FTW? I see it around a bit, but I did find this link http://ftwtattoo.com/ to FTW tattoo artists

So to interpret your sentence 'Amal GPs FTW', it would be a coded message for;
'The Shi'a Gorillas GPS location is a Tattoo shop in Oakland California'


Am I right - do I get a prise?????

[Ixion]

Good lord dude, what stone have you been hiding under ?

You can't be old, or you would know what an Amal was. But you can't be young, or you would know what FTW was.

The Amal carburettor , the finest product of the proud Briddish scrap iron industry. The GP model was a thing of , well it was, um, actually it was a problematic pain in the arse. No idle circuit at all, almost impossible to start and if you did you had to keep blipping the bike like mad cos otherwise it cut out. But the street cred was enormous. Sort of like modern sprotsbikes , I guess.

And FTW means, well, it means FTW . For the Win maybe? But it doesn't have to mean anything, it just means FTW. Godda keep up with the times, eh.

There is a real nice Pub at WopWop...they serve a delish feed of Satay Butter Chicken blended with guinea fowl liver...its ok until the next morning.
