Ugh, I hate to think how long it's been since this thing ran... and I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what I had to do to make it run. I hit it, kicked it, drilled screws out (3/16" allan key is not an acceptable substitute for a 5mm one), grinded on them with a dremel, hit it with an impact driver, nothing.
Popped off the timing cover, wiggled the wires slightly, used the timing light to detect a spark... *boom*
Put the gas tank on it, and there it goes -- firing on two cylinders. A little checking had me realize I had pinched the right side fuel line. Quick move there, and those cylinders fired up, too.
Idle seems a bit low, and it will stall out with that, but that might be more related to the gas in it. I think I'll wind up putting in completely fresh fuel, maybe some octane booster, as well.
Well, now what's left is to cleaning supplies, oil change supplies, insurance, and register it... The bike has seen better days, and looks downright ragged right now, but it's getting there, and some good cleaning will get it going nice. Plus, it's still a bike.
Soon, I shall have my bike back and running... soon...
Now that she runs, if you ever want to go for a ride, I've got mine back on the road now too.
Awesome! I think we have to.
