Well I ordered a carbtune today so once I get this figured out I can try and get her running better. Since I bought it I may be a little more willing to rebuild the carbeurator myself if that turns out to be the culprit.

Hell yeah, if nothings stopping you I'd go for it.

Yeah I do the same thing, when my bike is running, hopefully will be able to ride to work again soon. I live on a slight hill and I just roll right down and let it idle right down the road until I know I wont wake the kids or the neighbors kids. Now for the people who live a couple blocks down...

I have been doing touch ups on my heads with engine enamel. Only had the bike fired up a handful of times since I did it but so far no problems. Picked up the paint from advance auto (they also sell ultra high temp exhaust paint which is on my list of things to do) and for prep I just used a...

I'm considering making one of these myself. But I might try more along the lines of the carbtune. Anyone know what material the rods are? Aluminum Stainless? roughly the size 1/4"x 3"? If I make it I dont want to make them too heavy to prevent it from working. Also what diameter tubing are you...

a Vmax with a....

shampoo for her....

Yeah I'll give that a try definately cant hurt. Im not ruling out ignition yet. Gonna definately take your advice anybody know how to check the relay? is it normally open/closed how many pins etc etc. What does the relay actually do?

I did fail to mention one other thing that I did to it in the week it sat. I don't think there is any significance to it now that I've gone through and check for spark but I took off a couple of the spark plug wires (cyls 3 &4) to check what plugs were on the bike so I can get new ones. I'm...

So I was out about two weeks ago for a nice first ride of the season with my best friend. We were out a few hours and the bike ran as good as it has been so far this year. It typically was idling on three cylinders and I have been debating taking it into a shop to have it worked on. But last...

Yeah I had tried that but no go.

Eh what the hell just go over and use Rollies bike :biglaugh:

lol I like the first one!

Thanks guys. I might be willing to take you up on that redline. How soon are you thinking youll be getting to your carbs? I have another problem that just came up out of knowhere. The bike ran fine last time I rode about a week ago and yesterday just cranked and cranked and cranked. I havent...

I've never done one myself but it didnt seem to bad in the second video.

I've been wanting to work on the bike and get it running a little better ever since I got it. Unfortunately I never really get time to work on it. What time I do get is in the garage after the kids are in bed and I cant run it. So I'm thinking about breaking down and taking it into a shop. I...

Ever wonder about the route that Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda rode in the 1969 Movie Easy Rider? Here it is http://www.mrzip66.com/2009/04/20/route-from-the-movie-easy-rider-map/ Enjoy!

Yeah craigslist can be really frustrating sometimes but I've bought and sold a lot from there and it does have its advantages. I'd just stick to it and eventually someone whos really interested will follow through.

Not trying to hijack the thread but it brings up something I've been wondering. Who runs Premium and who runs Regular in the bike and what differences have you noticed switching between the two.

I feel the same way. Its one thing if its an 09 with 500miles but when your talking about a bike that 15 years old and has 15000miles you have no idea what its been through and what kind of care was taken of it. So taking it for a test ride helps you get a feel for stuff like that.
