I wouldn't run it with that old gas. Like gwbarm said I'm surprised it started. Drain that gas and kill weeds with it. The idle jet is real tiny and clogs easily. If you're familiar with the carb I would take it apart and clean the jets (orifices)

Like I said I don't do indigenous delicacies ....The water is the main culprit. However, When I went to the job they wanted me to do it was on a Friday. The women brought in something like fried chicken and rice for their menfolk and ME ( I felt so humble that they would do that) for lunch. I ate it as I did not want to offend them. The workers smoke Mary Jo and keep on working...Damn! I had some Black Rum when i got back to the Hotel.

rental Bike ....

Gud Mawning Montego Bay, Jamaica...That is the only Patma I am good at.. Montego bay area is beautiful.. Took a Taxi ride tour of Island. Beautiful, very embryonic but quaint area and people. All very hospitable and laid back. Taxi driver and I drank beer all afternoon. He also had some Mary Jo...I don't do drugs except alcohol..LOL Delayed departure as I picked up a local service call ( some body found out I was here...LOL $$$) I went bike riding with some locals I met . I do not drink local water and I am cautious about strange foods even in the USA. I have had Moctezuma's Revenge before. Although I could aford to lose a few pounds.

Most soloenoids have a 30 amp fuse for that reason.

I am going to just use it here in the woods. Unbelievable poor design. However. I am limited to 30 lbs hitch wt one Foreman so I can manage that with tis trailer. The Yamaha 700 can toe it also

Most motorcycle starters draw over twenty amps for the first few seconds. It's the armature that pulls all the amps. The relay coil (starter solenoid) is only 5 amps or less .. maxbeg did very well

My diesel tractor has the same ball-hitch setup. Very convenient. My two balls are 2" & 2,5/16" the larger ball is for moving the camper around on the ranch. Much easier than using the pickup truck
