GET YOU HOME TIP
Hi
IF YOU ARE UNFORTUNATE AND EXPERIENCE A SNAPPED ACCELERATOR
CABLE AND YOU REALLY NEED TO GET HOME, HERE IS A TIP.
WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, GO TO THE ENGINE TICK-OVER ADJUSTER WHICH IS
UNDER THE CARBURETOR AND SCREW CLOCKWISE TO GIVE AROUND 3500 RPM.
SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE.
GET ON THE BIKE AND ENGAGE 1ST GEAR.
START THE ENGINE, LET IN THE CLUTCH AND RIDE AWAY.
3500RPM SHOULD GIVE YOU ABOUT 15 MPH ON REASONABLY LEVEL ROADS.
(YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN 3500RPM FOR HILLS)
I USED THIS METHOD MYSELF RECENTLY FOR A JOURNEY OF ABOUT 8 MILES.
(AND GOT HOME)
