Wow okay broke into the carbs today again (cleaned them a few months back) well there was a dead fly in my carb 1 diaphragm side and the gas came out dark yellow and smelled like paint thinner almost and there was gunk in all 4 carb float sides got new vacuum and fuel lines no wonder I couldn't get my bike over 4k rpm gonna finish cleaning this baby out and hopefully she'll be running like she supposed to

 

Hey guys got a little update here cleaned out my carbs replaced old cracks fuel and vacuum hose around it still couldn't get the bike to start up only with the help of a little starter fluid would it start so know there spark and air no fuel though.

Hooked up a batter to my fuel pump and it kicked out a bunch of gass checked fuel really cutoff and replaced that switch did a jumper wire per the Manuel on the fuel pump transfer relay should of spit out some gas ( have line from fuel pump to carb disconnected and it bottle) but only a weak stream when I turned the kill switch off and on per the Manuel the fuel pump is bad I ordered a new one this morning so well see if I can finally get this girl back on the road where she belongs

Also I know it's fuel because before testing the fuel pump transfer hooked the fuel line back to carbs gave pump power and filled the floats in carb bike started on first try no choke or anything ran for bout a min (till gass was used up in carbs) then it wouldn't start again

 

That's a lot of work. Hope the new fuel pump works out.

 

Alright you guys and gals been a little slow working on the bike due to a rainy week but its all sun shine this week and boy am I glad cause my new fuel pump arrived yesterday slapped the B on the bike went to start her up and nothin battery went dead so I ran to grab my charger from my buddies house he's got an 883 harley and on the way over remembered I hooked everything up except the plug for the pump got back hooked it up turned on the key and I could actually hear the pump kick on it wasn't doing that before so let it charge up over night and just started her up and wow does she purr like a 450lb kitten now just have to finish up wiring up my headlights and signals put on freshly painted fairings so I can break in these tires phew it's been a long 10 months but I have practically a brand new bike to ride now let's just hope I remember how to ride this bad girl and thank you all for your comments and help ill be seeing you around here I've gained some really good knowledge rebuilding this bike so I hope ill be able to pass it on to other members who are having troubles with their baby's
