Bad luck mechanic!? That’s me…

Basically, things don’t go right very often. I think I’m doing a thorough job? Or am I just thinking I am? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn’t get finished (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b) <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both the throttle cable and choke cable are discontinued. We’re recovering with replacement parts.
Now we can’t do the work the way we normally would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcan Hands wires\u2014the shape is slightly different, but they’re simplified enough to work as-is.

I quickly took it off to check, but there’s no debris and it’s not leaking… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
