MasterGuns Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 The new motor in my lowly lst Edition 86 is totally complete; and all the bugs have been worked out. This is one heck of a strong runner. I am again ridin around looking for a challenge. That eliminates all Harleys and all 2d Editions. I still miss my 88 though. And I most likely won't be ridin my Harley Ultra for a while. Besides she likes just sittin in the garage covered up waiting; just waiting.
Yammer Dan Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah I got a 85 just sitting and waiting.... Nice to have backup.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah I got a 85 just sitting and waiting.... Me too! ----------------------- Hey MasterGuns, you can ride over to my place. I could use some inspiration to get mine running too! Plenty of beer in the fridge.
MasterGuns Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Didn't know your's wasn't running. What's the deal? "get mine running too!" Plenty of beer in the fridge.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Actually it has been 8 months since I rode it an it was 5 miles from the old house to the new. I am having sync problems, the syncpro broke the second time I used it and Will do the repair kit on it prolly tomorrow. It runs, just like garbage. I wont ride it like that.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I know you live a good ways away but if you go riding and end up out my way, feel free to stop by.

MasterGuns Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 Rick, After not running it for so long, I would be afraid the carbs need more that just synced; maybe gummed up some. Have you tried running some sort of carb cleaner through it; Sea Foam maybe? Anyway, I have lots of s... to get down around here this weekend but if I do head up towards McKinney, I'll surely give you a call and I'll bring my Carbtune with me. Herb I know you live a good ways away but if you go riding and end up out my way, feel free to stop by.

Herb Mix Sea-Foam about 1/2 & 1/2 with fresh gas pull fuel pump line and fill carbs and leave sit.
GigaWhiskey Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I might give that a whirl Yammer. I have cleaned and blown out the carbs, sealed any vacuum leaks. I listened to some advice about the sync adjustments and it went haywire. I got it back somewhat. That syncpro F'd up and started sucking fluid at idle when trying to calibrate the second time I used it. It may have been off the first time I used a week before. I still need to get in the garage and put that fix kit on it to see if it works. I would hate to think it is a total waste of $100 but it might be, I had backfiring up top, then I had it up and below and now it is below (Below = exhaust). It has always been me fixing this bike with no one else to really bouce things off of face to face. Although I did get help once by lonestarmedic when he soldered my battery light sensor mod, i do not trust my soldering. I read a lot about people going to help people on this site, just never experienced it myself really. Anyway, had no intention of hijacking your thread, I was really glad you got yer scoot going - and maybe giving you a destination if you wanted one, lol. Enjoy her and ignore me for a while, lol
Poledar Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Master Guns, Can you give an abbreviated list of all that you did? I have an '86 and a backup with engine. Primary has 91K and the 2nd has 60K. I'm wondering if it's worth the rework to go through one of them completely. Thanks. Poledar:confused24:
