It's ALIIIVE!
« on: September 26, 2012, 02:42:24 AM »
Hey Everyone -

My Agility is ALIVE!  It's ALIIIIVE! (please read the previous sentence as Dr. Frankenstein from the original version)

She coughed a little bit and sputtered, but she finally turned over.  She's now resting comfortably, and is expected to make a complete and speedy recovery.  After completely cleaning out the carb, putting in a new spark plug, putting in and charging up a new battery, flushing out the bad gas, the gunked up lines and cleaning out from under the CVT cover - she came alive.

[insert happy dance here]

After I go over it with plastic cleaner, windex for the lights and speedometer, and Armorall the tires - I'll post pics.  Just wanted to give y'all an update cuz I'm so happy about it.  I really thought it was going to be a lot more involved than it actually was, but it wasn't.  WOOOT!

I wouldn't use Armorall or anything else that makes the tires "shine" or look "wet". It can make them slippery and cause you to go down when cornering. IMO not worth the risk just to make them look a little better. I would just use a good tire cleaner like http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Black-Magic-32-oz-Bleche-Wite-tire-cleaner/_/N-257l?itemIdentifier=552729_0_0_

Well, I did do the non-tread part.  But, I didn't armorall the part that has to grip the road.  Although, that would be funny...  ya know...  if it were someone else...
