Last week I had a problem where my brake switch went out for the rear.. when i rode it home the gas light was lit and I was on reserve. playing with the lights i thought i would run the battery down, lookes for gas in the garage ,.. none.. found cheveron fuel treatment , just wanted to start it so battery wouldnt go dead,, things worked out [not on purpose] where there was a whole bottle of treatment in tank and i started it probably 3 or 4 times. sat for 2 days till i had time to get back to it filled the tank and rode out I had to turn the idle down 4 times in one day, have spent the last week straight on florida beach riding around , RUNS LIKE BRAND NEW NO SPITTING OR SPUTTERING, NO BACKFIRING, SMOOTH ACCELERATION,, TRUE DREAM RIDE

so my carb keeps popping and i pull the plug on that cylinder it has black carbon ,all the rest have a red tint to the grey i go to cut off a 1/4 inch of the thing and it is a solid core stranded copper wire,, weel go get the multimeter wire has good ohms cap has some thing going on I have plenty of hotrod parts laying around so if worse comes to worse i will screw top on plug and run hotrod wires so the inside unscrews and under it is a 'flat coin 'for contact ,under that is a resistor,,just like on the old cars on the firewall with the springs on them ,, and under that is a spring.. pull spring it has corrosion like a battery terminal, I took a wire and stuck down inside cap to ohm out wire again,, nothing:confused24: I scraped and scraped stuffout finally got a reading , long story short, I wound up taking a strand of copper wire out of a house plug, these are thin strands wound it around the very end of spring stuck it in the hole got ohms reading ,, this after all the cleaning ,, so I fired it up and then pulled the plug fire jumped out the end of the plug when i was at the top of the head very strong fire now :bighug:no more popping so far:fingers-crossed-emo Oh the wire end of the cap only screws into wire ,, it has a screw sticking out that screws into the wire and the inside metal part is pressed into plastic when the plug end screws in ,, fool proof,, NOT IN THE BOOK

Both sides cupped in opposite spots like a cup here turn tire then a cup there so cups were like bumps all the way around it was an e3 dunlop if i hadnt cut that tire i would not have changed it cups arent real deep just , so you can see them in light , you can feel them
