SQRLPWR Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Very icy Muddy Myra was fun, and great to see some new faces :) Â The bridge bypass was 100% ice all the way, but the spooled up Zuk took it no problem The trail is mostly just filled in, with little opportunity to play, so we were out by 11:30!! So, I took us to the pipeline that runs from Aerotech to Fall River, where there's a small quarry to play in. Â I ended up having carb issues. After performing some donuts near the end of Muddy Myra, the carb started over fueling. I checked out the float and got it working again. Then we headed over to the pipeline. By the time we got to the end of the pipeline, it started over fueling again. This time so bad it wouldn't start. So after a some more tinkering with the float, I got it going enough to get me home. Â I've come to the conclusion that these cheap Chinese carbs are junk, so the TBI is going back on.

sar4x4 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks for the pics and vids, as well as the explanation! I didn't think that quarry/pit looked like the one on the Myra. I think another time I would consider winching folks down a slippery hill like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I agree about the hill. I was 1st through it and didn't break through the ice. By the time I got parked up further up the trail, I'd missed all the action and the hole had appeared. I'm assuming the 6000lb Rover broke through. I'm not sure how we'd have winched Derek as he was last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have also run a winch line over the bridge and used a snatch block to get to me if needed. Always one way or another to get where we need to go.
