  • Rain pushed me off the road to drive my cage. So I decided to do a few thing in the garage to make sure everything was it tip top shape for the ruckus. I did notice some speed loss and wanted to investigate why this was happening.

    Living as I do in Scotland, if I didn’t ride in the rain the Zoomer would hardly ever leave the garage 😄

      Oh wow! Scotland ! I would love to ride there and it’s not bad in the rain. Only after I stretched it it became horrible to run in the rain. Can you send me a picture of your zoomer in Scotland :) that would be amazing

      Got some Zoomer videos up on TH-cam, including rides around Edinburgh. Not as professional as yours but they are fun to make:

      We had a small tornado pass right over our office this morning. I have an upstairs office. We all headed to the ground floor. Lucky we only had a shop door blown out of the mechanics shop.

    The radiator leak could be from the hoses going to the carb warmer inputs...I ran mine a different way than they were supposed to be and caused it to leak just like you described. Went in and adjusted them and boom no more leaks

    Funny you should have the throttle cable issue, this happened to me about 2 weeks ago too. Luckily i pulled over and worked it out pretty quickly.

      I just grabbed what I could find from my brothers garage and he also does a lot of wood working. Have you tried to craft a wooden floorboard for the ruckus?

    • @blub.lubber5171
      @blub.lubber5171 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a great idea. I have an NCY floorboard right now, but I want to cover the engine. I don't like the stock plastic so that would be an elegant solution.

      Got the gears installed and the case partially clean. It will go on this weekend.
