So I pulled the tank to do a valve check.

All went well, all in spec.

Next day decide to go for put around the block. Warm the bike up and take off from my driveway. Bike dies right off idle. Restart, crack the throttle and it dies again.

So thinking fuel pump I push the bike back into the garage.

My great but very unmechanically inclined neighbor came over to borrow something and I explained the bike wasn't running right.

Then the lightbulb clicked on...pulled the seat and air filter. Sure enough tell tale blue shop towel tuft sticking out of the intake inlet....so I stealthily reached in, pulled it out and slipped it in my pocket. Fired the bike up and of curse it ran mint.

Neighbor asked what was wrong, so I told him that the intake muffler needed opening and left it t that.....
 
HA! That's pretty funny.

(You're not a surgeon, are you???) :bounce3:
 
I used to find mine ran like sh** on toilet tissue! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

HAHA, at least it was something easy!

i had a freind who used to do that all the time, we rented a house for a year together just out of college and used to work in the basment like it was our personal shop, after doing leaving a rag in the intake on two engines within this one year time period i decided to play a joke on him....we were in the basment (i was drinking) he was working on his honda RC51 or 1000rr i forget which, he just got it all back together and was going to hit the button and but i started laughing histerically, he asked whats so funny, i told him he left a rag in the intake, i said i saw him do it but didnt tell him because it would be funnier this way! while he took it back apart i was still laughing he got it apart and...there was no rag...... :bounce3: :bounce3: :bounce3: ,mean but hilarious, what are freinds for right?
 
in the early sixties, racing circle track cars with my uncle, a guy pulled into the pits late for qualifying. he was pulling his hilborn injected chrysler hemi engined car with a towbar and the guy in the car decided to bump start it to get it warmed up before they stopped, forgetting that they had rubber balls in the injector stacks. sucked 'em all in. no racing for him that nite.
