    Thought I could get some cleaner into these things and make it fire but no luck. Opened drains and got it to pump cleaner through and left it sit a few days when I thougght the carbs were full of cleaner but no good. Got it to run few secons on starting fluid but don't like to use that stuff. It did sound good what I could hear then. Got carbs off think I will submerge them in cleaner overnight and pull bowls clean them out and anything else I can get to and try again. Would like to make it run on orginal carbs because I'm stubborn and the "Blue Beast" got lousey MPG although she would fly. Get it running and hope tranny works. Right now it is is neutral and won't go into gear. Owner claimed he ran it thru gears right before I got it. Don't think so. All brakes are stuck. Fluid looks good. Maybe cleaning calipers will cure this masters seen to be working. 1. Clean carbs get engine running 2. Pull clutch plates and clean 3. Pull calipers and clean. Hope this fixes brakes. 4. Fix plastic tabs. Plastic looks good on outside but lot of tabs missing Dude drilled little holes and wired it on so you couldn't see wires and forgot to tell me about it. He forgot to tell me someone had been in the carbs. Had worked on the exhaust and a few other things. Too many accessories on it that don't work. He is blaming it all on sitting. Wanted me to give him good feedback before I got into bike and got it running. Maybe didn't want me to see these things?? When you drive that far to pick up bike you don't have time to dismantle it to find all these things. Right now I would have a hard time buying another that don't run and I could ride. But it sure does look good sitting out there. Got all kinds of looks in the back of Froggy's truck. I haven't given Feedback yet.

    Had three in back yard this morning about 5:00 looking at me like, "What are you doing out here this early?".

    Also can't get transmisson to go in gear. Maybe pull clutch plates and clean?? Not sure what would cause that but maybe getting engine running to move gears around in there will cure this. No brakes,no clutch, engine won't run, but it sure is pretty. One of the do-dads on it is a guage to tell you your lean angle like the one for wings of a plane. If I get over far enough to need that guage I'm probally going to be a little too interested in other things to look at guage!!

    You are right about that. All the calipers are going to have to be done. Hoping masters are not. Wire connectors without being Di-Electric greased don't like that sitting either. It sat in heated garage and just got baked. Probally been lot better without heat. And I think more than the 3 yrs he claims. I am stubborn, will take closer look at carbs today but swapping them is probally best way to go. They were stuck on bike so tight I used 24 in breaker bar across corner of valve covers and under edge of carbs and a lot more pressure than I wanted to use just to break them loose from intake boots. Yes clamps were loose. Took a while to get them out of there without bending anything. This one has a lot of promise but going to be interesting.

    You remember I got a "New" 1st Gen not long ago and been trying to find time to get carbs off and clean them to get it running. Bike shows 22k and owner swore that was right. Lot of goodies on it and needs cleaned badly. i finally got a little time to pull carbs today. He claimed it had never sat outside was in heated garage all its life. 25 yrs!! when I pulled carbs every thing I got to was stuck. Crud on carbs and bottom of air box was hard to believe. Bike does look good but makes me wonder where all that came from. And plugs are gone so someone has been in carbs. They are so dirty I'm thinking of swapping with "Blue Beast" I don't know of any place that soaks the things any more. Something wrong with that being that dirty. Might be 122k. I hope not and it sounds too good what few seconds I could get it to run priming it. I'll keep everyone posted. Carbs off the "Blue Beast"??? Hate to take that engine apart. Parts bike runs too good to take things from. i need another 1st Gen. Never have too many. Didn't mean to write book just thinking out loud and know there are a few wondering about the scoot.

    What ever you done it was almost as quick as a 1st Gen. Didn't even know it happened!!
  19. Yammer Dan
    Yeah Squid you ain't bad looking at all but I'd try loosing that guy in the hat. He looks a little strange!!!!!!
  20. Yammer Dan
    Staying warm not what he expected!!

    That Raider is really sharp. And the Warden said "I told you to buy a new one. But all those things sitting out there got to go." Just can't do it!!
  22. Yammer Dan
    That just ain't right!!!
