don't leave us hanging what was it. gremlins,trolls or did I do that:confused07:

if there is one strand of wire still together. meter will read full voltage. use a fuse 5 to 10 amp ground one side, put the other to power of factory fuse on side after fuse if it pops fuse have good connections. just because meter says there is voltage don't mean there is

when it wont turn over any more. the cylinder closest to tdc will have the chunk of whatever is causing the stoppage. that is where its contacting the head. if your not seeing any carbon on valves prob wont be carbon.

regular unlead puts carbon on top of valves gasahall puts carbon on bottom of valves. if they mix to much alcohol plugs will have red tint to them and red carbon. water in fuel makes it worse. put old plugs in for starting then change them out after mess is over. I have used a shop vac before on plug hole but a valve has to be open. I would just use cleaner.

a chunk of carbon broke loose and wont let it turn over. have had this happen to me a few times. fill the cylinders with carb cleaner let it set for a while. have cyl at top. when it wont turn over anymore find cyl at top its your problem. will smoke like hel when it starts trust me he he:hurts:

well I bought mine about 3 years ago. hadnt rode in 28 years. what a difference fluid clutch, brakes, etc. have dumped it one time in parking lot. make sure kick stand switch works. its like picking up a elephant. go slow you don't have to go on the highway. ride around on side streets slow. these bikes are top heavy. ive had to touch almost every thing. brakes are week so plan ahead till you get used to them. my best improvement to date is main power and ground cables bigger is better. take the time and clean all connectors in wiring big difference. my biggest lesson so far don't over fill rear brake reservoir warms up then you go no where. I got stuck on the busiest street in town middle of street bike would not move no tools.

savroy brown= hellbound train. not as popular

that looks like a blast. you got a lot of good pics getting off the beaten path. rode on a lot of sand over the years but not on venture. do you know where road goes or just chance it don't think it would even show up on a garmon. or paper map.

wife told me I have to find a different bike. she took my old one. taking a motorcycle safety course next month. tired of riding on back. that means I have to get a job to get another bike. hope they stay down I prices

I need to buy table to put bike on have a hard time getting up and down. back is killing me. hell being fat and cement like ice. :pushups: man tools are always on wrong side.
