Good Morning wingnuts -

Max and I went down 213-301 on the Eastern Shore to the bay bridge and back last night - with the new plugs and ATF in the fuel she not only sounds better, the performance of her 33 year old powerplant is better than ever. Thanks guys, a video update is below (youtube) along with a walkaround - figured you should be able to see the bike you helped me fix!

Thanks guys, as always!

Chris

I like the trunk! Nice mods on the lights!

Have you syncronized the carbs?

Great video.

Sounds to me like carbs need sycned.
That clunk on acceleration from idle is a tell tale sign.

Probably a good idea to burn up some more ATF before attempting to sync the carbs :yes:

 

[chrisbags]

sounds like great advice to me, will do!

Getting near the end of the season now. The ATF makes a good fuel stabilizer for it's winter nap too.
