Ok I know there is a thread for this but I could not find it.
A week ago I twisted my ankle and while descending a steep and very rutty hill today I got the bike sideways and fell, not once but twice right after one another. Now with my sore ankle I have something else than my riding skills to blame.....
I got the bike fred up but it died shortly. We tried to get it going but eventually gave up and went back for tools. The bike would run on the choke circuit for a bit only.
The intake and frame was full of oil and after we took the carb, filters, plug and the intake boot apart with minimum tools required we cleaned it and the bike fired right away. The bike is a FE 501 99 and it is the first time it did not take me back to camp for repair.
What is required for the proper modification to eliminate this happening again?
Thank you in advance,
