After checking many different things on the bike and finding nothing to work on, we have decided to hit the road anyway and see what happens along the way.
We left from Anchorage to go to Tok. When we left Anchorage it was raining and it continued to rain all the way to the pass. At the pass we had lunch and then went on to Tok. Not too far after the pass, the rain actually quit and we started to warm up a little.
Without the rain, that would have been a most spectacular ride today. It was through the right kind of country to see a lot of wildlife if there were no rain. Plus, the bike began to run even worse! I thought at times it was going to actually quit. It didn’t, but it sure felt like it was at any minute.
After the pass and after the weather started to warm up, the bike started running like it was new. I don’t know why but it was really running well. l was amazed. When we stopped for gas the next time after the pass, Lyle found some “Sea Foam” to use as injector cleaner and I poured some into the gas tank. I don’t know how much that helped but we tried it anyway.
The bike ran like it was new the rest of the way.
I’m starting to think maybe moisture or some kind of temperature sensor. After we got over the pass, the rain quit and the temperature went up a little so it could be something along those lines.
If you ever get to Alaska, take the drive from Anchorage to Tok. It is through some of the most isolated areas in Alaska but it is beautiful.
We made it to Tok and checked into the same hotel we stayed in before. And, just like before, it was raining in Tok.
Saw no wildlife at all today. Some of the best country we’ve been in but no wildlife.
Tomorrow we head to Chicken and Dawson City. Still riding a bike I can’t figure out what is wrong with it. Hope we get closer to a fix tomorrow.
