Pop Up AKA Uncle Fester

Post by Kryten » Sun Sep 05, 2021 9:18 am

Took Fred’s Pop Up for a spin yesterday to see if it has a chance of getting down to WussyKat.

After Fred doing lots of swapping cleaning and swearing it was running on 4 cylinders.

After trapping my thumb between the handlebar and the tank and later “Having a moment” doing a feet up U turn in road junction, 16” front wheel. I have come to the following conclusion:

A 1980’s GSX with CV carbs, a butchered airbox (not by Fred) and a Harris 4-1 runs a rough as a badger’s AR53.

There is a total lack of low rpm torque, a massive step in the power deliver when you don’t need it. and it grumble’s and complains all the time.



It’ll be fine, let’s GO! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was a New Day yesterday but, by God, it's an Old Day now!
