  • Fellow Forum Member Help: Vedgar

    I reached out to my friend and fellow forum member Vance Edgar (Vedgar) with regard to my carb issues (posted on the FB page).

    After one ride, he assumed it was the mechanical advance. Took it apart on his bench and sure enough, seized-up solid.

    Vance took it all apart, adjusted the carbs, and now the bike is back in tip-top shape.

    Thanks again Vance! Sincerely in your debt for your help.

    - One of the best parts of this forum-- help is just a few keyboard strokes away. I am indebted to all who helped me years ago on using genuine Mikuni rebuild kits and other help in solving a racing idle. T C was a large part of getting my F running in tip top order.

      Knowing folks like Vance makes life worth living.

      We can only hope to pay it forward.

          You're lucky he still helped you.
