[QUOTE="wilcoy02, post: 197739, member: 1994"] Since the eclipse of the sun I have not had a bike to ride. My engine gave up the ghost a day or so after the eclipse. I bought a used engine (83 Aspencade w/ 18k miles) and put it in my 83 interstate. Kept finding gremlins trying to get the bike to run. It had a knock. Took belts off and loosened up the springs on the lifters. Made sure it was timed and valves set. NO knock. Went to go for a test ride and put it in gear to take off. No movement at all. Went thru all the gears but no go. You have to put the circlip in the middle of the universal joint. Went for a 30 mile ride today. FINALLY The engine runs so smooth. At a stop light I can not hear the engine running. When I gunned it to go from 20 to 70mph it sounds like a Harley. Same pipes I have always had on this bike. While cruising at 60 mph the voltmeter shows the stator has 13.5 When I turned the heated jacket and gloves I was getting 12.4 When in 3rd gear the purple overdrive light comes on. Goes off in 4th and 5th gear. I plan to put a new fuse box (84 1200 box) to replace the glass fuses and clean up the ends of old wires. Hope this helps the voltmeter. And lastly to put a c5 on this bike. I am happy now that I have a running bike. Sad part is it is time for winter to hit here. [/QUOTE]
