Running rough

[Skibou]

I put my bike away for the winter, and just as I had it ready for it's spring outing I developed severe blockages in some of the pipes around the old chest pump, causing it to fail. A quick ride in the emergency tow truck to the special repair center in the big city fixed things temporarily, with a follow up additional repair six weeks later. At last I'm finally ready to ride again. I think the bike was mad at me, as it was quite reluctant to start, but after some sweet talk and Seafoam it finally relented. On my first (and only) ride it developed a strange thumping noise in the exhaust, so it looks like it's going to be a while yet before I'm back in the saddle. Oh well, at least It's good to be back on the Forum.

Here's hoping both of you get your pipes and timing straightened out.
Did they prescribe a Seafoam cocktail?
