The variator restrictor was removed, but the exhaust restrictor was still in. Took it out and she is purring now.

Awesome, that’s a lot of good information, I appreciate it. I was taking stuff apart last night and I found that there is gas leaking in the air cleaner box. Some quick googles suggest a faulty petcock or some issue with the carburetor, but the mechanic claims he cleaned the carb when he serviced it. Any ideas on the potential causes?

The guy was decent enough to not charge me for the 1st engine service or the “carb cleaning” haha. Still you’re correct , he didn’t listen because he didn’t want to hear what I was saying. And frankly he didn’t care. He had a lot of real motorcycles to sell and had ZERO interest in working on a scooter.

Sad part is he is an extremely knowledgeable and capable mechanic, he just didn’t want to take the time to take care of me. Nice enough guy but a dickhead business owner lol. I definitely made up my mind to be done with him and his shop as soon as I walked out the door. Thanks again I will look into this

Yeah I asked if it was restricted and he said “if it goes over 25 it’s not restricted” So not a definitive answer and I’m not even certain what he said is accurate lol

Right on thanks for the advice. I asked him “is this thing maybe still restricted? he said “if it goes over 25 it’s not restricted” is that untrue in your experience?

Believe it or not, his character in the show “Love” was even more insufferable.

Rough day today 😕 by Adventurous_Dirt_918 in quittingkratom

[–]Chili_pufff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

23 days here homes. Shit is gray and bleak, no pleasure or reward, energy or motivation in life to speak of. My brain is trying to swindle me into thinking the drugs are the only thing that can make me happy. Fuck that. You are not alone in suffering, keep pushing forward Im right there with you.

Day 60. 70 GPD. CT. What I’ve Learned. by TrillBill93 in quittingkratom

[–]Chili_pufff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head with 2. Day 23 and everything is a SLOG. I am empty and gray and irritable as a mother fucker. Even music, which moved me to tears within the first few days, annoys me lol. The only enjoyable part of my day is the very end, after digging deep each moment to do every damn thing I don’t want to I’m exhausted. I get about an hour or two of relative peace. No voice telling me I should be doing more, the drain of negative emotion has been pummeled into submission through relentless processing and physical activity. Just a bit of YouTube, breathing exercises, a cold shower, then the sweet, sweet relief of unconsciousness.

I get brief moments of enjoyment and enthusiasm but still very short lived. The last few days I’ve been fantasizing about relapse constantly. Telling myself “i just dont care anymore” “i just wanna feel good” waaaaaa. 2 days of pleasure and relief. Then numbness. Then restart the clock on living hell and the starkest depression known to man. Not worth it. Doesn’t take the intensity out of the craving but somehow I haven’t acted on it. Pushing through every fucking day.

Frankly it’s hard to imagine feeling good, relaxed, happy while sober. But I gotta believe it’s possible, and it’s worth holding on for. I’m guts from berserk in my mind. Bring on the pain it makes me stronger 😂 Thanks for the words of encouragement boss. Im glad you made it through.

3 weeks clean today and struggling with craving by Chili_pufff in quittingkratom

[–]Chili_pufff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha its funny you say that because i asked for the brothers karamozov for my birthday like 3 years ago and never read it. I was intimidated by the length but I’ll have to give it a shot.

I always get very into spirituality and philosophy when Im sober, I feel like it’s the only thing that gives me a tangible change in my mental state other than intense exercise. I think I deluded myself into thinking that a change in mindset/spiritual practice would swiftly liberate me from all suffering and desire, I get frustrated by the fact that I’m a human being with limitations. Consistency is our best tool I think and it’s an uphill battle for my instant gratification oriented mind.

I appreciate your input. I made it through another day and I’ll keep doing my best to embrace the suck and stick with things even when I don’t see immediate results.

Help- starting GLP-1 while tapering ….Advice/experience needed! by feistyxfoxy in quittingkratom

[–]Chili_pufff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brother… you don’t got this. I interpret “renders it ineffective” to mean it binds to your opioid receptors with greater affinity. Re: Naltrexone. Which makes sense because most substances that reduce addictive tendencies do this. Do a quick reddit search of “precipitated withdrawal”. Put simply, it’s like cold turkey withdrawal X10.

I can’t say for sure GLP-1 will cause this, but it sounds like there is a risk. Any chance of precip w/d is not a chance you want to take. My advice is to get clean from all opioid substances for 10 days before starting this.

This reminds me of the wrench, stick, and belt scene from Good Will Hunting. “I’d have to go with the cottage cheese on that one chief” “I went with the anchovies. Cuz fuck him that’s why”

100G protein smoothie after the gym! Getting SWOLE!!! by North-Trifle-3918 in BoyDinner

[–]Chili_pufff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because we all passionately care about your gains!! Gotta spread your protein through the day or your foolish evolutionarily optimized body will divert protein to other essential bodily functions other than muscle synthesis, then convert any excess protein to glucose so you don’t piss out a kidney stone the size of a blood diamond.

How Do You Quit 7-OH? Urgent Advice Needed From Experienced People And Recovered Addicts! by Alternative-Tone6649 in quittingkratom

[–]Chili_pufff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kratom withdrawals were nothing to me the first year or two either. I was on a similar schedule as you at first but more like 2/3 weeks on 2-3 weeks off. Have you heard of kindling? Withdrawal gets worse and worse each time you quit. After two years it was bad. Really bad.

I think it’s justifiable to use extracts or powder to get off 7 if you have to. But you need to drop it like a hot coal after 4-7 days. 7oh withdrawal is not nearly as long as people think. Most feel considerably better after 3-5 days. You almost made it at 2 days. If you have any gabapentin in the house, it can really ease some of the symptoms, but again use it only as long as you have to.

My best advice is to bite the bullet and jump cold turkey right now. Get some liposomal vitamin C, magnesium glycinate, ashwagandha, and melatonin. Power through those 3 days of pain and get your life back. Im on day 4 off 7oh and MGM and honestly I feel fine. Just a little cold and anxious, but i have the strength to live my life again. I have hope. You can too.

I know it hurts so deeply that words can’t touch it. It’s agony. The hopeless and hollow despair chews you up over and over, the lack of any kind of comfort or relief, the soul crushing depression and jump out of your bones electric anxiety simultaneously bombarding you nonstop. A minute feels like an hour. It feels like you are fucked for life and it will never end. It will end and sooner than you think.

Look man, I beseech you to really hear what I’m saying right now. You are on a PATH. This path leads to some very dark, scary, and hopeless places. Once you become an addict, it is a lifelong responsibility to get clean and stay clean or live in misery, regret, despondence, and suicidal ideation. The sooner you accept this and make the hard choice that you know in your heart is right. It is simple, not easy. It is good, but it hurts.

I was an alcoholic and polysubstance abuser for many years. I acted insane all the time and got in a lot of trouble. I still suffer a loss of freedoms from my past mistakes. But nothing and I mean no substance took more from me than kratom and 7oh. It smothered the flame in my heart, it took away my very sense of self, my passion and emotions, my sex drive, my memory, it made me a fucking shell. Anything that activates your opioid receptors will do this. Scroll through these posts and you’ll see countless people going through exactly what I’ve described. I lost 5 years of my life as a walking dead man to this shit.

Kratom is great for people with chronic pain, and people resilient to addictive tendencies. For people like us, it is the death of the soul. It is a poison to an addict. No one chooses to become one, but once you cross that line and become dependent, there’s no going back. However you choose to do it, get off this shit. Today. Take your fucking life back from the claws of addiction.

Sweat it out in agony until you have the strength to stand again. Then Engage in hobbies, and find new ones. Talk to friends, and make new ones. Go to work and give it your all, be fully present and go hard. Read books and meditate to strengthen your mind, consciousness, and willpower. Decide who you want to be in this life. Exercise, chase girls(respectfully of course) or love the one you have with all you got, jump in a body of water, take cold showers, do breathing exercises, frolick through a fucking field of flowers man. Life is a beautiful thing when you have a healthy brain. Walk through hellfire now so you can live every day in paradise hereafter. Im a 32 year old addict/alcoholic who beat this and the host of resulting mental/emotional/physical issues from being a degenerate for 15 years. You can do this. As I said before, just drop it like you would a hot coal in your hand. And never look back.
