Fred scooting around for the first time

A much needed haircut for the soon the be handsome frog

 Which was preparation for the big day on the scooter. Fred did fantastic on the scooter for the first time

Unfortunately, later that night, I had to the push the scooter for a mile up a hill. After many, many, many, many long hours of trying to figure out what the problem could be, the conclusion from Warren Norris is because the Chinese junk carburetor would not work properly. We found an OEM carburetor in Wisconsin. Thanks to the wonderful world of overnight shipping and many additional long hours of cleaning and prepping, I am now a certified expert at cleaning and installing carbs.

           (a word to the wise, don't cheap out, always buy OEM)

I rode the scooter home with a max speed of 71mph and Fred took it out for a 2 hr ride today!
