  1. Yeah here in Wyoming it's been cool for almost a week. It hits upper 90's for a few days every summer. During the day I don't mind the heat (20yrs in FL) but hard to sleep on those hot nights. Lots of residents here don't have air conditioning and I'm one of them. In Florida I didn't have good heat and we had some cold winter nights

  2. Rear brake shoes and the needle and seat came in for machine #1. The rear shoe swap went easy. I always cut the old springs out. Cleaned up the posts that the shoes swivel on, and the cam that rotates to spread the shoes. Applied molybdenum paste to those surfaces. Cleaned out the drum. Cleaned the splines, applied molybdenum paste to the splines too. Brakes not only work, but the shoes retract now so, no more drag. Pulled the carb, replaced the needle and seat. Love these carbs with the set screw and o-ring to hold them in vs pressed in seats. Reset the AF scre to 2.25 turns out. I previously adjusted it when it was idling weird due to the choke cable boot not being in place. Felt confident enough to put it all back together vs be testing it with the fuel tak sitting there. Turned on the gas and it was leaking everywhere! I forget to install the float bowl drain screw. I removed it to polish up the tip with some maroon scotch brite. Put that back in and then started it up. Runing great, stopping, and no more leaking from the overflow hose. I parked it outside overnight with the drain hose on the floorboard for easy detection. New A Arm, bushings, air filters and some misc stuff got delivered this AM. Will probably wait till Tuesday to install all that then hopefully be done. We'll, not true, 1 needs a battery for sure. One is still working but its 5 years old. Figure ill just swap them both
