I read this as soon as you posted it. I started moving peds out of the way to get to the PA50 but friends stopped to ride...so, I didn't get to it. I'll go move it to the garage now. I appreciate that you still are trying to figure out why I can't get this ped going faster. I wish I could get half the top end you are now getting out of your PA50. Turns out Honda is out of stock on the ramp plate for the '82 model. That's the only part that shows wear. Mine isn't worn enough to cause the problem I'm having.
