No you weren't banned for questioning the forum rules... You were banned because you promised I would never see you on the race track, if I banned you. And, since it is probably best I don't see you on the track... EVER, I felt it was in your best interest!
In your neatly woven tale above, it seems you left out the parts...
-- Where you told me that I was a jerk - for locking a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with lawn mower racing, nor even remotely anything to do with lawnmowers!
-- Where you suggested I was corrupted by money - when in fact I volunteer my time to the mowbetter forum, receive $0 commission on any sales made in the course of my work on the Mowbetter Forum, or any of the other 3 mower forums I Admin or Moderate, including this one, or for the web work I do on the G-Team Racing site. ZERO... ZIP... NADA!!
-- And, where you said I had tunnel vision - when in fact I pushed for the room to allow the ATLMA group on Mowbetter time to organize, and put this forum together with a sound member base to start things out.
if you wont allow the others on this forum to help, will you direct me to a small engine repair forum?
is everyone that races mowers a jerk or just you 
did you ever consider adding an off topic area to the forum? as far as why i posted, i was hoping that someone would offer me some help before you showed up :mad:it is people like you that turn people off from this sport. why wont you help with other engine related q's? show me where it says that in the form rules. i wanted to upgrade from tearing around the neighborhood and give racing a try. it seems the people in my neighborhood enjoy watching me tear around and be a road hazzard.
why are people so corrupted by power and money? mowdak1, you have tunnel vision. there is more to life than mowers

if you ban me for this, i gurantee you will never se me at a race.

And, you also left out the part where the above comments were offered after I locked a topic that you knew would be locked when you posted it, and it you plainly stated that in the topic!
After watching what has happend to some people who have posted asking for help with non mower engines, I will cross my fingers that this thread stays open. That aside, i have a old Motobecane moped, after a full throttle run the engine wont idle without quitting. Also it fouls spark plugs faster than normal.

And, this was after only your third post on the Mowbetter Forum UNDER THIS ALIAS!!
So let me guess, if you see a police officer at an intersection, and you run the red light in front of him, he's an a$$hole for giving you a ticket, right?
You need to pull your head out dude! You're the one with tunnel vision, and I'd ban you here too, but I'm going to leave this one to Chris instead!
