Slabghost , I sure it's somethin simple like wire coming loose. The bike's wiring is a hot mess. I knew I would have to rewire all of the lights, because there's wires going everywhere and even some going nowhere Denver, yes the temp guage is working. When I first got the bike the fuel guage...

My bike has a sense of humor. The blinkers are working and now the fuel guaged quit...lol

Found the issue with my blinkers not working....ready for this???? I unplugged the wires from the flasher so I can move the flasher and never plugged the wires back up!!! I'm back on the road again!!! RED BULL MY FOOT MY HONDA GIVES ME WINGS (goldwings, that is)...lol

I seen the throttle cables actually moving when I turned the wheel, so I pushed them around in diffent spots until they stayed still when I turned the wheel....problem solved. She struggles a little coming out in of 1st gear. I have to give her more throttle than normal and ease off the clutch...

Thanks....I'm sure it's something simple

I don't see anything binding up, but it has to be, because: while idling, if I turn the wheel to the left the rpms drop and when I turn it to the right the rpms raise. Also the choke doesn't help the bike on initial start up. I have to lock it my manual cruise until bike warms up. Things that...

Thanks, I'm headed out right now to check that.

I have a throttle issue. Sometimes she runs perfect and other times she acts like she's not getting any throttle (although I have it wide open). I'm assuming that I loosed something up on the carbs (or throttle cable) when I pulled the motor. ( I just held the carbs up with bungy cords, I did...

Holy, flame throwers, Batman.....That bike is smokin'. After I get the "Blue Goose" (82 interstate) running the way she should then I'll be attempting to build a "looker" like this one (unofficially named the Blue Flame....lol) Excellent job :clapping: :music:

That would be great. I'll just be putting the last few things back on the bike and cleaning it up. Just let me know when it's a good time for you.

https://youtu.be/MWIPFvd62Ok https://youtu.be/MWIPFvd62Ok This is a video of my make shift stator plug, because I thought I order my plugs but did not, and I was too impatient to wait for them to get here.

yes sir, all 5 working now. next is the carbs, I can really use your help with those.

yea, I was feeling great and stupid (lol) at the same time. great because it was only the shifter hitting the exhaust and stupid because, it was only the shifter hitting the exhaust. lol

yes sir, getting close.....and the clutch is better now than prior to pulling the motor. All the same parts.

Ok, I cleared out room in the garage, ready to pull the engine and see what I did wrong with the transmission. I have another transmission to look at. I just couldn't see how I could have done anything wrong and the 2 halves bolt up so easily. Then (like many other times), Great Lakes...

Yup, she shifts up and down, motion wise. But there's no, cluck into first gear when the shifter is pushed down. I may not have 4th and 5th either. I Only ran it up to 3rd gear. I'll find out in the morning, if I have 4th and 5th. If I have to pull it again, I'll just slap a running motor in...

I used my original transmission. I just swapped the crank and the transmission drive shaft. I hope I don't have to pull this motor again. I was looking at the other transmission, trying to figure out what I could have done wrong, but I'm stumped. I was hoping it was something in the front...
