Thanks for giving away a set of rims. I would love them.

Thanks scabber. I searched for bench syncing, I understand what you are saying but I don't understand how to do it on mine? My both of my carbs have their own throttle cable. Clint

Patches, Thanks for the idea. I pulled the plug today but don't remember if it was wet or dry. I will check again and let you know. The petcocks were rebuilt and they work. Clint

Sorry guys, I guess I don't know how to post pics. If you would like to see them, just email me. clinthughey@aol.com Thanks, Clint

retired- Thanks for the response. Compression is 143 (cold) on both cylinders. I took the carbs apart, cleaned them in an ultrasonic cleaner, then used carb cleaner and compressed air to get everything out. So, I assumed everything carb wise was good. Then, wasn't getting spark on left...

Here are some pics. Sorry it took so long to get them up. If anyone is interested in trading for a later model roller let me know. I am in Newnan, GA. 30265 Thanks, Clint [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG][/IMG] [/IMG]

Scabber- It ran on both cylinders the other day, (I think it was Sunday) and I left it alone till today. When I got home from work I was going to use the dead cylinder method to get the carbs synced and the left cylinder is not running again. I think it might be a carb issue but before I...

Thank Retired. The battery stays on a tender and is charging at the moment so I will check it when I am done. Plugs were new as of Sunday. I am getting spark at the plug. Am I confident that the right cylinder is firing on the right compression stroke? Not 100% but I am pretty sure. The...

Hey guys, I want to make sure my coils are wired correctly. I have a 75B and the coils are not original (well, at least the colors of the wires are not the same as on a wiring diagram). My coils both have a brown wire and a orange wire. I have a new wiring harness from mikes on the bike...

Thanks 5twins! I stripped back a bit of sheathing, fanned out the wire as in your picture, put it all back together and she runs on two cylinders at idle now. Thanks you for your help. It seems that it is the simple things that elude me, but I always learn from them. Clint

5twins- Thanks! I just walked out to the garage, unscrewed the cap and the wires were down in the wire so hopefully that is the problem. Out of curiosity, if the spark plug wire is the problem, why would it not spark well at idle but would spark well above idle? Clint

Scabber- it might be a vacuum leak but my bike, unfortunately, does have the the threaded bungs so I can balance the carbs.

Grizld1- thanks for the response. I took the float out and checked it and one side was taking on gas so that problem is fixed. 5twins- sorry I reread my post and it was confusing. The brass nipple didn't come out of the carb, the hose connecting the two came off and fuel was pouring out and...

Hello all. I have posted on here a few times and have gotten some great help so far so I am hoping that is the case here. First off, I have a 75B with BS38's on it. I have been working on it slowly over the past few months and finally got it to run last week. It ran like crap, (static timing...

I will try and get some pics up tonight. Clint
