Yesterday was riding down the highway and gas began flowing out of the overflow hole on the carburetor. I figure the float stuck open and the pressure of a full tank created the overflow situation. I was able to tame it for the time by shutting off the petcock by a quarter to a third turn. I made it to my destinations stayed for a while and headed home. Just as I was getting back on the highway it started running rough. Not sure why other than the carb is probably gunked up with crap. Gas was low so I was headed 3 miles down the road to gas station. Made it a mile and all sudden my whole muffler flew off then as I went to turn around to get the muffler, the bolt on my clutch linkage decided to fly off as well. After numerous stops and starts I made it to the point where my muffler came off and apparently an 18 wheeler crushed it. There went an original 1935 muffler flattened. I was able to make it off the highway and eventually a tow truck came to pick me up to finish my lovely day.
anyone have a suggestion where I can get an original used muffler for my 35VL? Thanks!
