Extra power for £0

It's a delight when I find this: the throttle linkages incorrectly adjuster so that they don't open the throttles fully

Get your helper Roger in and put their foot flat on the pedal and check the throttle is fully open. If, like mine, there's a food 3cm - yes, 3cm (!!!) - left to go, there's loads more throttle available. That's like putting your foot only 2/3 the way down. Result!!

I have no idea why I'm forbidden to edit my post there and delete the oddly included word, "Roger"

Hi all,
For anyone interested here is the link to how to make the adjustment (Thanks Derek).

"Welease Woger?", "Do we have pwisoner called Woger...?"

with Wogers friends...Nortius Maximus & Bigus Dickus, and Biggus' wife....you know what she's called? She's called...Incontinentia. Incontinentia Buttocks.

And remembering Pilate's "Stwike him, Centuwion, vewy woughly!"

As a Yank, I have to say that the Brits have the best TV programs and the greatest senses of humour. I am reminded of "A Fish Called Wanda." I was in stitches. Thank you, v8250, for reminding me of those and many other classics. (And who could ever forget Benny Hill?)
