Hawg and Bill

Posted in The Long Rode on August 27th, 2011 by Wade

This has been a great weekend so far.  We had our first Football game of the season last night and it was a good night.  CO was the underdog to a very good Yuba City JV team.  But in the end our Wolves prevailed 21-14.  Then the varsity one a squeaker 22-21 by stopping a 2 point conversion with 1 min left in the game.  Now for the best part.

Steve “Hawg” and Bill from Australia (no it was not a special visit from Aus.  he was already here) came down from same said Yuba to check out Marlin and help diagnose the bikes stalling issues.  They had come to the same conclusion I had.  It was probably the crapy secondary fuel filter.  So we took the fuel filter out and opened up both the primary and reserve fuel valves on the petcock.  As an aside Hawg said the replica petcock was probably going to be another chocking point for the fuel delivery.  But with both valves open it worked fine around the block, we’ll see how it works on the highway.  Hawg also went all around the jugs and tightened all the nuts.  Then we took some rides.  With Bill being an Ausi. we thought it would be great to get some pix of him on a clasic American machine.
