A little piece of CANADA...

[Worden18]

Well, you can tell I'm bored :lol:

I put this "Black Bear Wawa Canada" sticker on the headlight shroud of my 84 Yamahauler for no good reason other than the sticker itself has been hanging on a hook in my garage for 35 years and I finally decided to use it.

Back in 1978 we took a family vacation somewhere in Canada :wondering and my parents let me pick out this sticker from a souvenir shop. My Yami is never going to win a prize for beauty, so I stuck it on the headlight shroud. Surprisingly the glue was excellent, it adhered nicely. Cost me 69 cents back in '78. It was made in Edmonton.

On a more serious note, I finally got this machine running right. It was burning rich; I had the damn carb off about 15 times; finally got it tuned right! No dead spots, no sooty plug. This thing is the ultimate cruiser. I just cruise along enjoying the sights when I ride this machine. Love it!

Here's a link to my photobucket page with pics of it in case anyone wants to see more. It sat in a barn for 10 years, got it for $50. I've put quite a bit into it, but it was worth it. Nice running machine. Oh yeah, the seat IS innertubed :lol: previous owner actually did a pretty good job!

Yeah I figured 69 cents 35 years ago is worth $6,900 now :lol: Hey it just increased the value of my 200

Good to see you got her tune up Worden. I've never owned a Yamaha, but I'm sure it's a blast to ride!

Thanks Big G. It took me a while to figure it out, but now I feel like a Mikuni carb expert :lol:

It's a good machine, nice and quiet, very smooth, good power. Doesn't smoke or burn oil. Always starts up in 1 pull no matter what the outside temp is.

Wawa, been there, smelt that.....oh wait that the pulp mills in Thunder Bay down the road, lol. I think it was around '72 when I was there last to vacation. Good job on the Yammi; makes it all worthwhile to get them running right by your own hands.
