Well the bike tried to start but then started to backfire through the right cylinder, then it dawned on me that I have the plug wires reversed. I swapped them and she fired right up and runs very smooth.
Well I am off too get oil and gas and start the engine in the bike. I spent all day finishing up loose ends. I checked for spark this morning and there was a good blue spark to the new plugs, compression was very stout. Ill report back later
Why not get a roll of gasket material put a thin film of oil on your part or the existing gasket and cut a new one. Problem solved and you saved yourself 60+ dollars
From the back. Many members said to ditch the flat trailer fender and I agreed. This was the original chrome front fender from the xs donor bike. Looks so much better
Went with an old school paint job. How many of you remember Eerie-Dess from Metal-Flake corp. ? Also decided to install a sight glass on the side of the tank.
