my zx50 issues

[thebatman]

hey sid, thanks man...yeah, this is real frustrating,so dam far back in the country now, i am fairly styck, i HATE asking ppl for help to get around, makes me feel like a bum or something and i finally wised up not to drive my vehicle untill "they" say i can.  (many times i get close to saying fk it and drive any dam way but that could lead to 3-5yrs in prison for ME, just for sum driving..uhh no!! unless for my mama or my daughter!!!..    well, i just tried to start her up....FIRST KICK, smooth as silk....last night it took at least 25 kicks...so now you and art may be one to something i wonder.....electrical...and of course i am dumb when it comes to using those meters to test currents...have a cheap one but all those settings..      maybe i should try that out, i have a solder gun to redo the splice back... going 34 again is NOT in my wish list.

Can you source another cdi? Trying to test it would mean getting it to the point of failure and then  pull the scoot apart to get to it.

3-5yrs in prison for ME, just for sum driving

well i have yet gotten to find my problem, finally was busy this week, plus trying to get all my daughters b day ready...i did get a set of reed gaskets and a petcock yesterday..tried to see if i could tell a difference between the 2, not sure either.. my old diapham is louder for sure..idk..here comes the guessing game men..

[wordslinger]

..if i were to even have a .08 BAC ..(1.5 beers).. and get stopped and checked..

..3 years would be coming for me..from that point...

..so, i no longer drink and drive..or, scoot, i should say...


 

[thebatman]

yeah, n.c has way cracked down...they frown on that sh** now......yeah, said id get the habitual misdemeaner for driving on revoked....fk that..i better hurt somebody for that much time..    oh well, march is coming but i am scared as sh** about getting them back...sounds crazy i know!!!.....just gotta remember when..    i may be like a binge drinker with license.

[wordslinger]

 Ha! no rum in that one     Yep learned my lesson years ago(sorta) but it's not worth it. This was back when they just started cracking down. Today it would have put me out of cammision,with fines and restrictions! plus not to fond of jail. No d. tank in the county i was in,straight into a 8 man cell block over a loooong weakend and a paper work screw up with a couple of convitad murderers on the way to fed. prison(woo hoo not!). One week enouph for me.

[thebatman]
