Let me contribute one here too. I used to have a old Honda CB125 back in the 70's.
One day the engine got stuck for what reason ever, so I had the cylinders drilled out, fitted
new oversized pistons and after all the work was done, I took it on the Autobahn to run it in again.
I went pretty far, but on my way back, about 20km before I got home, the engine starved again.
I thought oh s***, now its stuck again and I started pushing it home since there was no other way.
Home was about 20 km away, and when I had pushed it about half way the road would really go upwards some,
I started to sweat like ---- and eventually had to sit down to take a rest. When I sat there looking
at the bike, my eagleeyed glance fell on this gasoline switch ever so often mentioned, and I thought, noooooo.....,
this can't be, but gave it a try and what shall I tell you: It ran like on its first day.
Well, Ping, it happens to all of us.......
