I don't know about ^that. It's a 2002 Kawasaki KLR 300R. I got it started multiple times but it won't stay running.
Put in some fresh gas!
^ Do you really think that will make a difference? It seems to me that it wouldn't even start if the gas was bad. I was told the gas will turn to turpentine or something. It seems like it runs out of gas when it quits.

Put some good gas in it. My lawn mower would not run without the choke partially on with gas that had only been sitting 4 or 5 months. Fresh gas and some Sta-bil and it runs fine now.

Hmm. It's been maybe 2 years since I put the gas in it. Darn. My gas can is 200 miles away in Kennedy Meadows but it has diesel gas in it. I guess it's time to buy a new gas can, first.

If at all possible, get the old gas out also!

When you go to start it, remember... ti will take the new gas a little bit to make it thru the fuel lines to the cylinders!

Okay, I planned on draining the tank, first. Now, what do I do with the gas? Any ideas? I think my ex told me gas evaporates if left out. I don't want to do that, though.

Pictures?

I thought what happens in Delaware... stays in Delaware?
The problem is that not much ever happens in Delaware, so when something does (like this Vintage gathering), we have to brag about it!
The only picture I took of our little Mid-Summer Gathering:



Car owners, from left to right: paS2K, canberra, tomnsyl, and jukngene. Zippy chose not to drive his S due to the threat of rain, which didn't materialize, so we made him park in another lot!


Hopefully, some of the other attendees will post their pics.

Heading out with other MGA'ers to the Vintage races at Waterford Hills . . . a road race course that's been doing sports car racing since the late 50s.
You guys have way too much fun!

We're in the Albany NY area tonight, heading towards Watkins Glen, Corning NY area tomorrow. Waterfalls, breweries, maybe even a winery...going to see some of what we missed when we were last in the area in 06. It was a gorgeous top down drive here.
Speak for yourself! I don't see you two sitting around too often.

The weather yesterday was perfect for top down and enjoying the races.

There was a major concourse car show today that I thought about going to ($25 to get in) but I decided to pass, after looking down the featured cars.... to many were not 'my thing'.

Hey Dave, gotta go when we can, right!

We were at the Glen today.
