well alots happened since then^.
went to Mark G's and got hooked up with a black AC pole that is bitchin. thanks Mark! rode o-side that weekend and my carb was too fat the first day. leaned it out the second day and ran great. got my Barrel Rolls down so was pumped.
Than headed to Pismo for the Liquid Militia ride. rode friday and rode for 15 min AGAIN and blew my splines on my mid shaft and short shaft..... do i have bad luck at Pismo or what!
took apart everything in the sand and called up Taylor Curtis to see if he had a pump and midshaft. he was so cool, he pulled the parts of his other Rickter for me! so headed to TC Freeride to pick everything up and swap some things and was back on the beach.
threw everything together in the sand. realized we didnt pull out the dowll pins (SP?) but my neighbor had that figured out with a hatchet.....hahaha!
rode the next 2 days but seemed like i just kept loosing power.... heres some pics of Pismo.
Like my scupper? DUCT TAPE!
hatchet man!
So after Pismo i went to the Lake and it would barely run....sweet. was frustrated and let it sit for 2 weeks.
was in Havasu Last weekend and Tomski helped me out. checked the compression and it was good THANK GOD... was praying i didnt have a bent rod from Pismo again.... we took the carb off and apart 3 times. needle and ceet (sp?) were stuck closed, fixed, changed the jet 3 times, changed the pop off spring, and only got worse. said forget it cuz it was like 115 degrees that day.
took it down to Jet Works to Art and is ready to get fixed.
so yeah...thats the news. trying to get a running ski to practice for Surf Slam.:bananapowerslide:
