This Saturday is our annual community pig roast. All the ladies will be bringing there covered dish and desert specialties.Should be about 40 different dishes there. It's important to attend these events with an empty tank so I may have to miss a meal or two Saturday morning to get ready. I wouldn't want to insult any of the ladies by not trying a sample of there fixins. I got a new bottle of antacid but I hope I don't pull my back out. Doctor says be careful lifting anything over 40 lbs.:cool10:

I have a 87 model and when it gets wet the tach drops to 0 and it runs like crap. This happened to me at Vogel last year when we started out on the tail of the dragon. We left the gas station and I hit a pothole that splashed quite a bit of water up on the bike. It started missing, spitting, sputtering and wouldn't take gas. As long as I don't give it much gas it runs ok and the tach registers, but when i accelerate, the rpm drops to 0 and it starts sputtering and popping. At Vogel I also had water in the gas when we drained the carbs, but after that it still ran ragged, so I let it get almost in the red and then shut it down. The next morning we left coming home and it didn't miss a beat, so I'm thinking since I washed her today and it started doing this again, I am getting water in something. I am suppose to leave at 7 in the morning going on an all day ride with some friends, but when I crank her up in the morning, if she is still acting up, then I won't be going. I didn't take the side covers off when I washed it and I didn't get much water on the engine, but I did spray the faux gas tank down so i'm thinking water got into something from the top. All spark plug wires and caps have been changed last year, so I don't think it would be pertaining to that. I have heard of the TCI getting wet, but what do you do to stop it?? if that is the case or any other suggestions would be appreciated. Even if I could get it dry to where I could make the trip tomorrow, I would worry about the cause later. Thanks

Well, in a pure moment of happenstance, while I was filling up this morning I had one of my foam ear plugs fall into my tank! What are the chances of that thing going straight down the hole? I sloshed the gas around and looked with my light, but to no avail. I was away from the house and had to get to work so I rode it on in. I have been a ball of nerves all morning long. Someone put my worries to rest. I plan on getting a bottle of sea foam on the way home to combat anything that gets in the line. I am trying to convince myself that a tiny ear plug would disolve into almost nothing since it is almost all air. Help????
