MasterGuns Posted June 11, 2010 #1 Posted June 11, 2010 The new motor in my lowly lst Edition 86 is totally complete; and all the bugs have been worked out. This is one heck of a strong runner. I am again ridin around looking for a challenge. That eliminates all Harleys and all 2d Editions. I still miss my 88 though. And I most likely won't be ridin my Harley Ultra for a while. Besides she likes just sittin in the garage covered up waiting; just waiting.
Yammer Dan Posted June 11, 2010 #2 Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah I got a 85 just sitting and waiting.... Nice to have backup.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 #3 Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah I got a 85 just sitting and waiting.... Me too! ----------------------- Hey MasterGuns, you can ride over to my place. I could use some inspiration to get mine running too! Plenty of beer in the fridge.
MasterGuns Posted June 11, 2010 Author #4 Posted June 11, 2010 Didn't know your's wasn't running. What's the deal? "get mine running too!" Plenty of beer in the fridge.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 #5 Posted June 11, 2010 Actually it has been 8 months since I rode it an it was 5 miles from the old house to the new. I am having sync problems, the syncpro broke the second time I used it and Will do the repair kit on it prolly tomorrow. It runs, just like garbage. I wont ride it like that.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 #6 Posted June 11, 2010 I know you live a good ways away but if you go riding and end up out my way, feel free to stop by.

MasterGuns Posted June 12, 2010 Author #8 Posted June 12, 2010 Rick, After not running it for so long, I would be afraid the carbs need more that just synced; maybe gummed up some. Have you tried running some sort of carb cleaner through it; Sea Foam maybe? Anyway, I have lots of s... to get down around here this weekend but if I do head up towards McKinney, I'll surely give you a call and I'll bring my Carbtune with me. Herb I know you live a good ways away but if you go riding and end up out my way, feel free to stop by.

Herb Mix Sea-Foam about 1/2 & 1/2 with fresh gas pull fuel pump line and fill carbs and leave sit.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 12, 2010 #10 Posted June 12, 2010 I might give that a whirl Yammer. I have cleaned and blown out the carbs, sealed any vacuum leaks. I listened to some advice about the sync adjustments and it went haywire. I got it back somewhat. That syncpro F'd up and started sucking fluid at idle when trying to calibrate the second time I used it. It may have been off the first time I used a week before. I still need to get in the garage and put that fix kit on it to see if it works. I would hate to think it is a total waste of $100 but it might be, I had backfiring up top, then I had it up and below and now it is below (Below = exhaust). It has always been me fixing this bike with no one else to really bouce things off of face to face. Although I did get help once by lonestarmedic when he soldered my battery light sensor mod, i do not trust my soldering. I read a lot about people going to help people on this site, just never experienced it myself really. Anyway, had no intention of hijacking your thread, I was really glad you got yer scoot going - and maybe giving you a destination if you wanted one, lol. Enjoy her and ignore me for a while, lol
Poledar Posted June 13, 2010 #11 Posted June 13, 2010 Master Guns, Can you give an abbreviated list of all that you did? I have an '86 and a backup with engine. Primary has 91K and the 2nd has 60K. I'm wondering if it's worth the rework to go through one of them completely. Thanks. Poledar:confused24:
