OMG! Pilot Jets.....
Well I finally got my baby running. If anyone remembers I had panted my tank and after reassembly the bike would not run. I cleaned the carbs like 3 times thinking I am getting everything. Then low and behold on someone else’s post about there bike not running and when the problem was solved it was pilot jets.
So I figure 1 more try before I take her into the shop. So I tear down the carbs and use 4 cans of carb cleaner, 1 for each carb. Then I check the pilot jets, dam if they were not clogged. Used some stripped speaker wire strands to get the obstructions removed.
So I reassemble her, feeling like I got it this time and she fired right up. Sounding better than ever. I quickly put on the airbox, tank and the tail. Well lets just say the neighbors are pissed. Ha.
I hate getting beat and I am glad I stuck with this one. Well Daddy will be signing up for a track day at Fontana this coming January 22 tonight.
