  3. Last week I had a problem where my brake switch went out for the rear.. when i rode it home the gas light was lit and I was on reserve. playing with the lights i thought i would run the battery down, lookes for gas in the garage ,.. none.. found cheveron fuel treatment , just wanted to start it so battery wouldnt go dead,, things worked out [not on purpose] where there was a whole bottle of treatment in tank and i started it probably 3 or 4 times. sat for 2 days till i had time to get back to it filled the tank and rode out I had to turn the idle down 4 times in one day, have spent the last week straight on florida beach riding around , RUNS LIKE BRAND NEW NO SPITTING OR SPUTTERING, NO BACKFIRING, SMOOTH ACCELERATION,, TRUE DREAM RIDE

  14. so my carb keeps popping and i pull the plug on that cylinder it has black carbon ,all the rest have a red tint to the grey i go to cut off a 1/4 inch of the thing and it is a solid core stranded copper wire,, weel go get the multimeter wire has good ohms cap has some thing going on I have plenty of hotrod parts laying around so if worse comes to worse i will screw top on plug and run hotrod wires so the inside unscrews and under it is a 'flat coin 'for contact ,under that is a resistor,,just like on the old cars on the firewall with the springs on them ,, and under that is a spring.. pull spring it has corrosion like a battery terminal, I took a wire and stuck down inside cap to ohm out wire again,, nothing:confused24: I scraped and scraped stuffout finally got a reading , long story short, I wound up taking a strand of copper wire out of a house plug, these are thin strands wound it around the very end of spring stuck it in the hole got ohms reading ,, this after all the cleaning ,, so I fired it up and then pulled the plug fire jumped out the end of the plug when i was at the top of the head very strong fire now :bighug:no more popping so far:fingers-crossed-emo Oh the wire end of the cap only screws into wire ,, it has a screw sticking out that screws into the wire and the inside metal part is pressed into plastic when the plug end screws in ,, fool proof,, NOT IN THE BOOK
