Wes and I tend to do off the cuff engine exam-diagnosis on the fly. Feel for loose bowls, coil terminals shocking shorts rubbed raw HT leads. etc. Makes me flash back to early aircraft with engineers creeping out on wing to service some more again. Saw Wes today and told him his 71 sounds nice and even firing authoritative passing my office on his way home, then he said it had given him fits just prior, hard to start, coughing surging then while leaning a turn - down his steeple chase paved section it died so whipped out his Leatherman tool and rapped the TM34 carb and it lit back up fine, hmmm problem located. Pulled carb to find a wasp got up the over flow tube then body block main flow and pieces got into other passages. Should stuff a bit of fiber in for future protection. Hey a bunch of modern cars got recalled because the gas tank vent hose allows spiders to get in an clog system, so many times its 100s of reports.
Oh yeah his clothes pin brake switch broke so Wes bought a new inline switch that didnt last a ride or two so put the worn out original back in for functional brake light at cost of less effective whoa effort. Commando means never ending on going ever loving worshiping rituals.
