Pathetically, But She Runs!!!

[Yammer Dan]

Got carbs back on "Shady Lady" and had to use starting fluid to get her started. Would only run at idle with choke all the way on! Sat and scratched head for a hour or so, swapped out fuel pump and she runs!! Am I that stupid?? I had changed it before with one off a running bike. More I thought about it it just didn't seem to be getting fuel. No air box or anything on it but it runs!! At last a step in the right direction. Get it buttoned back up and enough plastic on her to take for trial. Want to see if 2nd gear is there. Get her on road and Color-Tune, Carb-Tune, (Mecury Sticks for me) Plastic glue and see what I've got. Problem is back to work and they called me today whining about being short and would I come in and help out?? NO!!! How long til Ashville????

 

 

"BROWN SUGAR" Don't need to worry.

Unless Brown Sugar has a VERY bad day, it will never happen.....

Sounds like it will be road worthy soon !!

Glad to hear the old dog is barking. A good run down the road to blow the cob webs out usually work wonders . I hope she still has second gear. Keep up the good work.

MamaMo been out in the shed today prying and banging around on that second gen taking parts off. We should have 1000's pieces ready for paint shortly. Can she get it back together??? Looks like I better go get the 89.

[Yammer Dan]

Filled with Carb Cleaner (again) and leave sit for work week. See what happens.

Too bad it wasn't ready for the rally, but some progress is better than none...........

Dan,

I hope all goes good for you when you stop working and get down to business!!

[Yammer Dan]

Test Ride as soon as I get enought plastic hung on her to go. Busted up pretty good. He had it all wired on. Shouldn't take long now.

[FROG MAN]

I love Test rides. There always good for triple digits. Hey you just got to know if it's right.

[Yammer Dan]

Mamamo bagging all those screws?? Hard to remember what goes where..

[FROG MAN]

Yea she is bagging them. Nobody but her knows where they go. See ya in Asheville on the 89.

[Ozark]

Dan, although we haven't met, it's good to hear you are making progress on the bike. Keep up the good work, we 1st genners need you back.

I know what you mean about the plastics, I dived right in at the deep end with my 84 Venture Royal, all the plastics were broken, and I do mean All. I used Plastex which has worked quite well, but some of the repairs still keep breaking which pi***s me off as I goto remove the panels again:mad:. Keep up the good work, you'll get there in the end.

[Yammer Dan]

I'll get there just hope I'm still able to ride when I do. This has been a long one!!!
