I planned on riding.

I was going to do my part in adding something to a section other then off topic. My plan was to take my brother in laws dirt bike for a ride. I only had an hour before dark, so I had wishful thinking that I could get this bike started (He has been away training for his new job so it hasn't been played with in a while) and ready to go and still have time to ride.

First things first. Haul it out of the garage. Simple. Start the bike. 5 kicks or so and she is running (not great but its running). BTW I put in new fuel as well.

So now that it started I can get dressed. Throw on my MSR gear that I bought years ago when I had my Blaster. Put on his Alpine Stars Tech 6 boots, helmet and gloves and I'm ready to kick up some dust. Wrong.

Wife took some pictures then I went to start it. Then I tried again and again. My wife was going to the store so I said this is going to take a bit so you can leave. When she left I was fully dress trying to start it. When she got back I only had boots and pants on, sweating like a pig. 30 minutes of pulling the spark plug, replacing and kick starting will do that.

At that point I ditched the idea of riding and pushed the bike back into the garage to work on it. Took off the carb and cleaned the fuel out and look everything over. After I put it back together I decided to lube the chain while I was dirty.

After taking it off the stand I hoped on and gave it a kick. She screamed to life. She is now ready to roll. To bad it was dark out.
