It's alive.... alive!
Warning: innuendo of the sexual variety abounds in today's post. Consider this a warning.
It all came down, as so many things do, to a nipple. Yes, friends, it appears what was wrong my the Purple Plaything (which is still a Honda scooter and not, despite the nipple reference, a sex toy) is the 'nipple' on the spark plug wasn't removed before it was installed.
I had no idea spark plugs even had nipples. I mean, I know some cars wear bras, but I'm fairly certain it's not in order to hold actual nipples. And I refuse to make any remarks about something called a 'plug' having a nipple. It wouldn't be right.
I wonder if those on the mailing list will ever see this post, or if their spam filters will automatically delete it based on the above. If you don't get this, let me know. ;-)
Anyway, so it's all my fault, since I was the one who changed the spark plug. But no one ever told me about anything needing to be removed, so I plead ignorance... which, of course, isn't exactly a stretch of the imagination.
Bless my brother for figuring out the problem, and curse him for not telling me of the nipple when he showed me how to change the spark plug. But he works for free, so I can't complain too loudly.
In related news, I almost didn't get the danged scooter back because the plastic rear frame panels which cover the engine on either side finally gave out after many removals for repairs over time. This is plastic which starts to break if you look at it funny. It would have cost me $79 per panel to replace them, but my darling brother put a few screws in places it didn't have screws to get it to stay. There is a rather noticable hole in one side, but I'll take what I can get.
And no comments about 'screws,' 'rears,' and 'holes,' eh? This post is too perverted already.
If anyone knows of the location of some cheap rear frame panels for a 1999 Honda Elite 50S scooter (I'd prefer purple, but I'll take anything), let me know.
Anyway, I'm back in business as of today. Well, only sort of. Oregon is presently having a ton of rain, so scootering is on hold, barring any emergencies... such as if I need an emergency injection of chocolate.
Oh, lord... no comments about the 'chocolate' thing either, okay? At least I didn't say 'fudge.'
Okay, so I just did. Sorry. I think I need to go take a nap. Obviously my brain is out of commission.
Take care, all, and take care to remember the nipples in your life. They may affect you in ways you can't even imagine.
