A surprise in my fx450
A surprise in my fx450
Yesterday I decided to repack my cannoharley to make it a little quieter. I took the exaust off to find this:
Yes, its popcorn. I guess the mice got into the popcorn in the office of my shop and decided my dale looked like a good place to store it. At first I was kinda worried about it, but I guess it probably wont hurt anything and its kinda funny. Somewhere there is a little black mouse that needs to die.
Meanwhile I found out the core is destroyed in my pipe, so it looks like more down time before I can ride again. Theres always next weekend. Not sure how many more of these 60 degree january days im gonna have though.

Shop vac is a good idea you can also tape a small hose like your vent hose to the nozzle and suck out the cylinder.You can see the exhaust valves are slightly open by the shinny stem at top.Something may have got past the valve.Worse yet is the dirty buggers like too pee also and the stuff is nasty!You would smell it if thats the case though.

There was no packing and only half a core left in the pipe, so it sounded a bit like a high strung harley.
I stood it up and hit it with the shopvac after that. I tried going down to a smaller hose like you suggested. I couldnt quite make the turn with it, Im gonna look for some more flexible stuff to get down there with.
cdaleman440, you can have some of the popcorn after I start it.
