Okay, I went over to Hayden Honda and Ralph, who is a very, very nice man, told me that it could very well be the air filter; when I changed it, which he showed me how to do, a lot of liquid did indeed drain on the ground. However, the battery was very low and so I went  back and got a charger for a motor scooter- sized battery. It finally charged . . .  but it still won’t start. I think the spark plug is fouled and I have watched a YouTube video on changing the plug on a Metropolitan. The narrator says, though, “It’s kind of tricky” at one point and I am at the big sigh stage.

I know there are probably a number of people within two football field lengths of me who could whip a new one in but my psychic vibes are not reaching them.
