Speaking of getting a buzz......

I was a kid riding my 1980 CR80 in a paddock next to where I lived at the time as I waited for the school bus to come with my then girlfriend on it. I used to beat the bus home on my pushie.....So there I was doing wheelies and little jumps off a mound of earth keeping an aye out for when the bus came in sight. Bus in sight, time for a big wheelie for the girlfriend to tell her mates about....2nd gear, 3rd  gear, 4th gear, 5th gear.....and over we go. Jumped up and the bike was stuck on full throttle revving to the moon. Pressed the kill button, no workies....shit, pulled the spark plug cap and proceeded to straighten my curly hair while doing the fastest jump on the spot excercise ever seen. I think I looked a lot like Yahoo Serious for a day or 2.....oh, and the girlfriend kept on walking with her friends....
:o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) 8)

My argument was that you can fit the slide into a mikuni backwards.
I never said that it would fit properly !

The fact is that it acts like the throttle is on flat out as yamaico looks to have discovered .


If you buy a new mikuni and don't notice that it is the opposite hand , then you fit the old slide which is still on the cable up under the tank [ watercooled husky] you can have problems.
