I finally gave in and pulled the carbs apart and cleaned them.

They weren't as dirty as I would have thought and while I never did find a problem with them the bike seems to be running better now. While the engine did not start cleanly, as one would expect without any gas in the carbs, once it did it ran on the choke. That's something that it has never done before. I can't wait till tomorrow to try and start it stone cold.

Now, on to my next fix. The prior owner has installed some red aluminum bar ends and I'd like to go back to the stock ends with the weights...... Anybody have a set laying around they'd like to sell?


Peace,
Mike
