Yes it still has the mixed it it,,,,,,now three days,,was going to ride it same day Didnt, occur to me. Till now, ,,,i may of diluted the gas it too much -
Ive wore glasses all my life , done some welding witout safety stuff ,,,, dark areas are hard to see for 3 years I had a flashlight i got from snap on...its stainless steel , water proof , OIL PROOF , figured that when i dropped it a drain pan it has a rubber housing so i can hold it in mu mouth and use two hands in bright sun light in can light up a shady spot....or use it as a spot light after dark it is extremy tough,,,, IF IT IS LOUIE PROOF , IT IS A GOOD ONE !! 2 tripple a batteries last 10 to 12 straight hours

I thought i did,,,,,,, Just wont idle, think too much cleaner when it was vacuum Let me know when you get home ..............jedi595@gmail.com Think i really shortened the lifespan of the starter,,,may have to get a good one from here Sure aint going back into town again,,real waste of time and gas for me -
kicking and bucking on a trip ,never touched a screw one on carbs while it was down , put in berrymans like i was told ,started it shaking gas whole , 1/2 tank to whole can when i was done , last night after soaking and letting sit 4 hours each time , she is running great CANT LEAvE NOTHING ALONE it was idleing just a little off third time ,,still spitting this morn ,I pull the air cleaner after seeing all the talk of diaphrams,,,,,,, all diaphrams work the same at all rpms crank it up , noting over 2500 unless i feather it . choked all carbs to suck 'TRASH'... last night i hit lightly the ends of carbs with a small rubber hammer ,only one made it die i dont think there ever was trash and it had a vacuum leak the whole time this morn, i find 3 vacuum leaks and the tube for crank case vent wasnt on the filter bottom fixed all that now i think i am at 75 or 80 % wiil absolutely wont idle should i turn up idle ?????? ,,,,,, i think it is running fairly OK wished i had another to listen to DONT WANT IT TO RUN AWAY AND HAVE TO STOP IN TRAFFIC

Got a 89 Venture, calls for 140/90. ;; Took off a mu90B16::: dunlop E3, tread wore flat, ,hard edge, ,, I put on a 150/80-16. I found on a wrecked harley,,,,it is a dunlop 401; I think it is a way softer tire,,i dont slip or slide an it makes chirping sounds when i down shift,, it was a wiggling issue to get it on, otherwise, it handles great like it takes curves by itself -

Its flooding,diddnt see it for 10 miles, just picks another cylinder, ,didnt even miss it ,,so its cutting in an out,,,, lo ok at temp.its. still cold at 20 miles. Figure "ill warm it up",down shift,2 times to, third, at 4;000 And up all cylind,ers hit all the way to 9.000 ;;i now it sat 3m weeks for rebuild so i figured trash, ran a cool 3 miles at 7, 8, an 9,000. Then slowed down to cruise, in 5th Spitting,, back firing,,, so back up high rpm,an if i play with gas it is almost like ,, the throttle is drowning the plugs,, i set them at 35the. Book said 31.
