    From john@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 13 20:34:21 2020
    a mid 80's moped, lol.....
    it needs work, and i need my head examined.
    thinking about messing with the factory settings
    by breaking out my old tattered copy of:
    two stroke tuning, by george jennings.
    jb weld & a die grinder can do wonders to those..

    Always good to learn new things. Do you have an actual use for such a
    thing, or was the price just too good to resist?

    use, not really, might use it to get around the county fair
    (more agile than a tractor or truck). price was cheep, but
    it was more like impulse buy. might just fix it good enough
    to be safe reliable transportation then give it to
    neighbors kids.

    Remember, their parents will regard you as the neighborhood pusher,
    creating a lifetime addiction in their children.
