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

I had to wait for EXHAUST to cool down. The shifter was barely hitting the chrome cover that on my exhaust pipe...I pulled it off, turned it about 15 degrees and that when the magic happened.....FIRST GEAR WAS REBORN!!! LOL

Holy Mackeral!! That was a real find!! :shock: :Egyptian: :clapping:

All 5 gears working now?

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

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.

This is the culprit that was stopping me from getting into 1st gear

She has a clanking that I think is the carbs or fuel/air mixture. I'll double check my valve adjustments. Then get the carbs worked. Well, get them worked enough that I can ride a little for the next 2 weeks before I head back to Louisiana.

Good progress!

All right Jersey, time for you and I to get those carbs squared away!

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.
