yes i do the people here are just finominal i could not keep this bike running without every bodies help and knowledge here i LOVE this place and the people in it Thanks Don (Freebird) for making this home for us and our love of these bikes and update i got it running it was slow and hard to crank but once the fuel started flowing she was running with full choke on and only getting to 2000 rpm once she warmed up after running for 10 min like that i was able to take the choke off and could blip it and man did she respond now i have flames shooting out the # 1 exhaust clamp and she was smoking burning off all the build up in there she had to be running on 3 cyl before the tci died also # 1 coil was cracked on the bottom so i plastic welded it what a difference it makes when its running on all 4 just in sound i been running on 3 since i got it and i thought that was normal because it had plenty of power on 3 and never heard one run on all 4 now to finish cleaning the other wire connectors for lights and stuff then put the fairing back together windshield on and ride i should start getting better gas ilage now i thought 35 was the norm for this everybody have a great memorial day i know i will putting the bike back together to ride :cool10:

i just want to thank Squidley for sending me his spare TCI after my factory TCI died from water and corrosion a project i thought i should do while in there is taking a little longer than i thought would take me i started to pull all the connectors only to find the factory grease they put on 29 years ago had turned to powder and corroded every connector on the bike and all the grounds on it were rusted and corroded as well its a wonder it even ran or that anything electrical worked (pygmies hard at work) i am almost done going thru the connectors cleaning the ground wires what a time consuming task that is cleaning every spade and blade connector on the bike i figure while im there i may as well do it now and do it right so i dont have to do it later on the side of the road anyway i should have it up and running tomorrow by late morning early afternoon as long as i don't find something else to get into and fix while im there

28 days for complete cure you can start erecting the tower after 7 days for as much concrete you have the tower wont make a dent in the weight that concrete will support

Ok I disconected the carbs from the fuel pump jumper on the pump to a hot battery and the pump ran fine for 3 cycles with my test light on the plug to the relay the light is dim and when iys hooked up to the pumpit gets dimmer and shuts down now when the pump is hooked to the carbs carbs are empty of fuel it shuts down after 2 clicks on the first cycle of key and will not work after that and no power to the plug I run jumper wires to it again unpluged from relay and it clicks 2 times and stops and I know the carbs are not full yet anybody have any ideas im thinking both the relay and the pump are going out and it does have a new filter on it I put one on 6 months ago before my accident so the gas in it:fingers-crossed-emo was just old gas/saefoam mix and a new one today glad I bought 2 of them then I need to get this running good before june 1st as I head back to tupelo for my job interview for toyota and dont want to stop every 75 mi to top the tank off on a good not I did get my fuel guage working while playing with the pump and filter
