Will happen, but you can't beat old school knowledge.
I remember my mate (who I class as the world's best mechanic - he even won an award off Jaguar for it) telling me a story about a local rally driver rocking up at the boozer in his 6R4. My mate was there on the back of his mates Suzuki 550 or something similar. When the rally driver was leaving the pub he couldn't start his 6R4. Some hot start problem. Anyway my mate takes one look and says - you're running too lean mate. Rally driver looks at him as if to say - who the f*** are you. My mate goes over to him and asks if he has a hanky, by which rally driver produces one out his pocket. He then goes over to the 550, takes the fueal cap off and soaks the hanky in the tank. Pops the boot on the 6R4, holds the hanky over the air intake and says - right, fire it up.
Boom - the 6R4 bangs into action. :grin:
Love tails like that.
