Test Run 02 - MKE to GB

This last weekend I decided to take a trip to Green Bay about 120 miles away (240 round trip).  I figured this would be a good day trip since it wasn't to far way, and it would be about the number of miles I would need to go each day when I attempt my CA trip again.

I made it up in about three hours with no issues to speak of (other then road construction).  After lunch I headed home and about 1/2 way into the ride the Vespa started acting like the main jet was clogged (jerking back and forth but not as though it was ready to stop).

Since I was low I stopped for fuel and a map check.  I got back on the road realizing I never checked the jets but everything was fine.

The moral of the story is, I have no idea was caused the issue.  I will keep my eye on it and try and figure it out.  It does seam like a break helped, so maybe it just needed a rest (we are both getting up there is years)

I'm hoping to take another ride soon so maybe I can figure out what's going on with it.
