sticky throttle

[Eddie]

All, A local Mom & Pop bike shop has been a mecca for folks like myself that like to tinker with their own bikes and also get good, honest service when needed. So much so for me that they put me to work there (for fun. no money) about 14 years ago on my days off from my regular job. I consider the two owners family. Yesterday, the lady co-owner (Mrs. Lynn Beck, 63) had a stroke while getting in the car to go to lunch. They've moved her to Emory in Atlanta. So, she's in good hands. To the praying types on the list, please put in a good word or two with the Fellow upstairs for her. Thanks! eddie in Columbus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yep, that was it. Too tight when the handlebars were full right. You guys are the greatest. I adjusted it at the carburetor, since that's what I messed with. Thanks a Billion! Robert ===========================
