I'll clean the carburetor and see if that cures the popping, it idles fine so I doubt it's a vacuum leak, also adjust the valves. The mirror, I decided to cut a slot in it and use a washer and screw and nut to bolt the damn thing solid. I got maybe 25 miles riding the scooter on Saturday, it was 80 F nice weather. Lots of cycles out and only one scooter (me). Then a cold front. And,.... the scooter quit starting, I took the starter off and it's oil soaked the brushes are all gummed up and one field on the armature is burned. A new starter is on the way. The shocks finally arrived also, I don't know how well they will work but they are pretty.
And the car has a flat the slow leak finally turned into a bigger leak, there's a nail in it. I suppose I better address the flat on the car. I'm down to only the pickup and there's always the bicycle, which I ought to be riding anyway for the exercise.
