Precisely how I killed my '73 CB350K back in 1988 or so! "Where'd all the oil go?" right as I was attempting to pass someone in the far left lane I lost all of my power and just barely had enough time to pull the clutch and drift over to the right shoulder. Then I got to learn how to rebuild an engine. :-( Still not sure where it went, but I think I just leaked it/burned it quicker than usual because I found no holes in the case. Was fun when the big Harley guy pulled over (!!) and tried to help kick-start it. The engine was jammed so hard that even with his hundreds of pounds on the lever it just. did. not. move. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
