I got my "Wing" running on all 4 cylinders. Something as simple as using contect cleaner spray on the run/off/run switch. The '78 is almost alive again, still runs grumpy but, I believe the old and crusty carb, once it's rebuilt, will make her run much better.
Good thing I got off work early......... Love those short days.

Temp went above 50F, so I dragged the bike out and took a ride. I only went 31 miles round trip, but it sure felt good getting back out there. She started right up and ran perfectly.

Just watching old videos of the Slug from when I was trying to determine what all the engine noise was at high RPM. (It was rod knock from a completely worn out engine.)

Yum Yum!
Memorial Day weekend is my traditional once-a-year wash & wax of my '81 Interstate. I used to do it in one day. Start right after breakfast; wash and dry, have lunch, wax and polish until I was called in to supper. I break it into two separate days now, I don't have the stamina any more. It's been garaged most of it's life and the original paint still cleans up real nice. Photos in my gallery are from Memorial day years past. Looks the same today. Hope you all enjoyed the weekend.

put the new sway bar and sway bar links in the garage, i'll get them installed later this week. i'm still not riding so not much to post about
Chef extraordinaire, cooked a nice breakfast for the Mrs and I. Price(s) for a breakfast out have gone through the roof.
Finished writing an article on replacing the ICU on the 1200 carb models and posted it. Waiting for the roasting to commence. Have done an article on what individual cylinder fuel trim (ICFT), haven't posted it yet.
Ordered up two rear shock bolts w/nuts for the my Hyundai, cost indicates gold plated, about $40.00 CDN for two. Have to cut these off to get the shock off (recipe saw). Haven't got a set of torches to use.
Checked the Speeduino ECU engine tune. Connected the Speeduino up to the bike, no joy. Missed a few connectors when I hooked everything up last week. Started once this was done. Now for an initial tuning.
All is good.

Have started tuning the engine with the new ECU. Slow process but progressing.
Replaced the rear shocks on the HYUNDAI TUCSON. Had to disassemble the rear and use a recipe saw to cut the bottom bolts off. Aluminum bolts seized to the shock collar. Used some moly paste on install.
