    Where did you get you forward controls and drag bars? Jake

    Carb tune rpms

    No kinks. Yup all four hoses. I did hook it up without the restrictors when if first got the gauge and the slides moved fine, just a little unstable. I may have to go without the restrictors or shorten them. I just want to ride! I'm so close I can taste the bugs in my teeth.

    Carb tune rpms

    Okay it's me again. Cleaned carbs and set floats last night, going to sync tonight. Here's the question. Last time I try to sync (just bought Morgan Carb tune) the slides on the carb tune did not move at 1000 rpms. I had to get to about 2000 rpms to get them to move. Is this normal? I put...

    Jet question

    Carbs appear to be stock, Air box is stock. Has SuperTrapp slip-ons. I'll stick with the 152.5's thanks for the advice.

    Jet question

    I was cleaning my carbs last night because I checked the float level while they were on my bike and they were off bad on the 2 cylinders I've been having problems with. Any way, while cleaning the jet block I was looking at the main jet and it had been taken out many times before and looked a...

    Coil wiring

    O.K. cool. So it doesn't make a difference then?

    Coil wiring

    Here is a simple question. Are my front coils wired right? The parts breakdown in the manual show the front coils with the right front plug going to the right front coil. But on my bike the right front coil goes to the left front plug. Which seem to make sense because it is easier to connect...

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    I am getting spark on all four cylinders, but it's only firing on the right 2. Last week it wasn't firing on one of the right ones, but it was on the other 3. Problem seems to bouncing around to different cylinders.

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    You are going to believe this. I got new plug wires. Now the bike only fires on 2 cylinders and one of them is the one that wasn't firing before. I guess I'm going to have to take the carbs apart. I wonder if my plugs could be bad, I cleaned them and checked them for spark, but still only the...

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    Yeah I know, right. I think when I took the plug and lifted the wire to test for spark it must have gave me just enough of a contact to make a spark. Them when I put the plug back in it must have pulled the wire away form the coil. The wire is pretty short, no room for play at all...

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    Well I found the problem. When I took off the plug wire to look at it, it seemed like it wasn't pushed into the coil far enough. I cut a 1/4" off to get a better connection and pushed it in better and now it fires on all 4. Unfortunately my battery is now dead and the baby's asleep, so I have...

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    Just to clairify, the bike didn't run at all before I took the carbs off. Then it ran for a few short trips and started spitting and coughing and would only run on choke. So I cleaned them again, runs now, just on 3 cylinders.

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    Yes sir. The rubber caps are getting hard though. I just started it and put my had over the carb (#4) while it was running and my hand got wet with fuel. Could it be that out of sink as to not fire on that cylinder? The plug had spark. Checked the resistance on the plug wire, it was 10.63...

    Only running on 3 cylinders

    YES it sure did! Have you run into this? Rebuilt them because the previous owner let it set for over a year with no stabilizer. Jet block was full of a rust colored residue. Put them back on sparkling clean, now the one cylinder does not fire.

    I drained the carb, it had plenty of fuel. Looked clean.
