  1. i have decided to do a 32mm carb swap on my rstd after reading the artical (and i dont know how i found the thread) that freebird posted a link to writen by lynn nicholls about the swap that is if i can get the 32 first before the stock 28 so i hope to be riding my rstd by october or november if all goes well doing the jobshould take me about a day to do that should be easy getting the carbs, intake boots, and clamps will be the hard part as this requires more money than i got so now i have to start saving my pennies without the wife knowing as she is actively looking for gainful employment and unemployment nolonger pays teachers when they are laid off so wish me luck as i look for a 2nd J@% to pay for this
  2. yes thats it sorry i thought i posted the right link
  3. it has to have spark if you have no spark then you must replace the ignition control mod. that is what controls the spark the comp. talks to the mod and the mod. sends the spark to the correct plug wire that may be his hole problem to start with i had one go out on me thought it might need a tune up was going to do it on payday 3 days away it did not make it 2 days after it started missing the module went out the old one was cracked and when it got hot it broke the connection so start there dan i believe you will find that to be the culprit and a scanner will not read this nor will it be able to read anything on the system i still havent figured that out yet guess im not going to as my mother traded hers in for a new car after changing the module out the van ran great and was getting better gas mi.

  10. ok i have a seriouse problem an idiot friend of mine stuck silicone in the drian plug hole on the carb bowls all 4 of them he managed to strip out the head of 8 screw heads and boke a brass piece in the carb that i did manage to get the bowls off but the bowls are not looking to good not with the silicone in them the drain plug screw must be in bad shape which leads me to think the bowls are messed up bad they do look like they were ate up by a bad corrosive
