- 1987 Aspencade
About 2 weeks ago I bought a 1987 Aspencade. It had several add one, non factory but almost positively dealer, that I quickly removed. This dropped my weight by a good bit but had to drastically dropped load on my electrical system. I've read quite a bit about the problems people have & fixes & or conversions. Either way, it started running pretty bad. A quick inspection showed a cut in fuel line coming from petcock to filter. I went to Napa, got the filter, hose & all & drove it home. Cut it off & started replacement of fuel parts. After I was done I cleaned the spark plugs & put em back in. It started to rain so I covered the bike, waited for it to pass & went back at it. I wanted the fuel pump to get fuel so I switched the kill switch to off & turned it over to feed fuel through the lines. I stopped, flipped kill to run & nothing. Not even a noise. I thought it was the solenoid but that proved wrong. So, turns out the ignition fuse was blown. I replaced that, had to charge my battery & upon trying to fire it again, it blew that fuse also. It got wet during that rain but not soaked. Although I've only had it about 2 weeks, It's done pretty well to this point. I'm at a standstill as I've no experience with the electrical systems. Anyone got any ideas?
