We went for a trip down to the bighorns. Day one 5 miles in the kitty cat spits out the PTO plugs. I thought thats a bit strange...so I decide to change them and carry on. Get back on the throttle and everything seems fine til I let off the throttle. Spits out 2 brand new plugs on the PTO side again. Now I know theres a problem. I Get it back to the trailer in the Bear Lodge parking lot and start to look into it. I'm thinking a stuck injector so I swap them to see what happens. I took it for a ride and it spits out the PTO plugs again.
I decide to tear it down on day 2. I find me a popped reed petal. I went door to door on the trailers, cabins, and hotel rooms looking for parts. No one had anything but I sure met a lot of good people. Sitting in the bar with a good jag on...my ridin buddies come up with the idea to hack up a credit card and throw it in. SO I did. It ran like a top. I only ran it for a day like that til I could get parts from Cody...but it worked like a charm. Did a plug and wash check after a few miles and things looked decent. It was a little on the lean side but still safe.


So in a pinch...get out the Visa or what ever and hack it up.

Good going McGiver!

It appears you used a card without embossed/raised lettering (i.e a membership card) rather than an actual credit card.
