just a thought, but the way your starter turns over slowly, it might be a good time right now to put in the heavier battery cables and stater cables. It made a world of difference to my 85 and its a cheap fix.

I wonder how braided strap material would work. I use it for the ground on my radio station as well as the lightning arrestors.

just a few shots of todays progress got the newly lined tank in, the new oil seal is in the final drive and the rebuilt caliper is on, have one breken wire on the air compressor to fix but it is reassembled and working again. new tail lights in, every screw has been replaced new, new brake pads, body work is just primed for now, will paint it once i get the new plastics. running lights have been re wired and modified to have a true ground. changing fork oil tomorrow maybe . old gal is getting one hell of a make over.

 

 

oh and has anyone ever had priming issues on a fuel pump? it always running when the bike is started but it dosent taper off and stop like it used to, and the bike runs like the carbs are only half full. is there any way to get all the air out of the system or do i just have to run it till the air comes out

[Snaggletooth]

Yep, with all new, completely drained fuel lines they can be quirky to get them all filled again. Cycling the pump on and off a few times will help but I ended up opening the bowl drains on each carb one at a time and cycling the pump a few times until the the flow was steady. I suppose feeding the upper feed line from the pump by shooting some gas in from the top (carb side) may of been faster.

 

I had replaced the section of fuel line from the fuel filter to the pump with clear line. I had a huge bubble in there for a few days. Finally took it out and ran it hard WOT for a few miles and the bubble found it's way out.

 

Of course you have made sure the petcock is clear and open all the way and the fuel filter is new and clear so I won't even bring that up.

Thanks for posting. Interesting. Fun to see it when it is done.

[Black wing]
