Back up and runnin' again!

A couple of weeks ago, we made a trip to Pennsylvania. There were a couple of reasons for the trip....one was to visit the place where I longed to live as a child, and also to see some (fantastic!) ATV trails in the Allegheny National Forest.

The kids and I actually got out and walked a bit of the trails and they far surpassed anything I could have dreamed of! And so, I have been bellyachin' a bit about a return trip. The trails do close the twenty-fourth of this month, after all. Argh....

My ATV has been running (or, mainly not) so poorly, Husband had resigned himself to taking the machine apart and doing some major work. My heart felt so saddened, as I longed for this one trip....

Yesterday, Husband read on a forum about a "miraculous" carb cleaner called Seafoam. Strange name, isn't it? Well perhaps not, since it was created for use in boats. In thinking back, Husband said many people also talked about Seafoam on the snowmobile forums as well.

I picked up a can of said "miracleinacan" and Husband placed the recommended amount in the gas tank. Within minutes, my machine had perked up and ran better than ever! Today, I took the ATV for a spin around our trails, and sure enough, the machine is at its best!

Now we are trying to fit in one day of riding before the trails close.....Oh, can you feel my excitement?
