That's where I had it set on the 1100 motor... I can't remember where I was at with the jet size, so I hope I got it right. :smilie_happy:

Sluggish ehh... I would say so. Throttle cable is no connected, no choke connected, ignition leads grounded through a jumper cable, and wires hanging everywhere... yeah, it's a bit sluggish, but I'll take it! :smilie_happy:

 

[joedrum]

oh the ragged road to success can be a bit untidy.. :smilie_happy: hooch still has some loose ends going on :BigGrin:

I hope those new high res scans of the schematics I did will help.

I finally got the :sensored: clutch bled. I have been working on that damn thing for two nights with no luck. Now I can move onto other matters and I can finally put the swingarm back in.

Nothing better than making an Old Wing New Again.........

Not too many 81 1200 standards out there. I'm sure you'll enjoy that beastie once it's on the road. Rain predicted for tonight and possibly tomorrow so I'm caging it to work.

What did the clutch need to be bled?

 

[brianinpa]

I swapped out the 81 clutch for the 84 clutch, so I moved the reservoir, clutch line, and also rebuilt the clutch slave. I had a LOT of air in the line to get out and I don't have a vacuum bleeder.

 

[Denver]

Been down that road before, :Awe: even with a vacuum pump they can be a bear. :hihihi:

 

[brianinpa]

At least I know I have the rear brake to look forward to...
