bongobob as for plug wires im going to say been on the bike since it was born in 84? i bought this bike from a guy who just didnt take care of it after he went to a harley. last service records i can find in a book he had in the trunk was second gear fixed?? and im not to sure about that? it now has 77,000 miles and thank god has not had a second gear issue to me? this man also never knew what wash and wax was?. so far here is what i have done to it. installed new air filter. bought new dunlop tires to be installed bought use good rotors all of them to be installed less then 12,000 miles on them. new pads to be installed installed new wind shield. bought a used left mirror. bought a nice used false tank from a member here i would rate it a good 7 out of ten the bike is just like waiting for me to bring her back to running good. i did run the bike when i got it for around 3000 miles i used stable when i stored it that year then i came to this wonderfull site. and heard about seafoam. and thats where im at. i should also look for where the fuel filter is as im betting it might be gumming up? im thinking if i get it to freebirds this year. a good battery cable update. seeif we can relocate the tci box? any any other good ideas that might pop up

well today it got up to 48 out side so i thought i would go give the old venture a try. i got it out of the garage. fired her up she idels rough as i knew she would. i put sea foam in it back in october a whole can to a full tank of gas but due to knee problem i never ran the heck out of it. well i was going to take it to a friends garage today for work on brakes , put on rotors , brake pads and tires. so i tokk it out for a 25 mile ride darn thing just couldnt get past 60 mph?? i got into town and pulled up to the stop sign. while letting off the gas. it backfired like a 410 shot gun. i swear i saw the lady in the cross walk duck. well after the back fire she seemed to smooth out some?? so i took her back out on highway and hit 70 mph?? then she started to bog down? well i got her home and went duh ! james you didnt put the new plugs in did ya? nope i forgot. chalk it up to want to ride syndrom. its now back in the bro inlaws garage as my friends apendix ruputred and hes now in the hospital. so no work done on it. me think its time for old goat to learn on this bike. so im going to check the oil make sure no gas in it. then do the plugs. and give her another try. i have to be carefull as brakes are not verry good on the bike. but i want to get her running fair to good. then up to freebirds maintenance day. to work out the bugs?? any thing else i should check out??

yep he saw that shadow 6 more weeks of winter? well right now where im at its raining. in illinois. so im going to pretend its april. after all april showers bring may flowers. and what did mayflowers bring??? PILGRIMS OF COURSE:hurts:
-
lets pray this animal doesent see his shadow. i cant stand the thought of 6 more weeks of winter. i need warm sunny days to go to the garage and work on the bike. its not heated and bro -inlaw wont let me work in there till its warm enough for him to pull out his crap and leave it out side so i can move the bike around. i understand he needs the lawn tractor in there as well as his quad 4x4 but come on. old fridge in there from the days when you placed ice in the top?? old mason tools. old traps ,old railroad ties, old bricks, old bikes. hes a packrat. some of these things he will never use again since his stroke. im lucky theres room in there to park the venture. but gee i get bored and i want to get the bike worked on.
