    71' chopper STILL not turning over

    I cleaned my carbs Already before I rebuilt them. Added new needles and floats so I know there aren't any blocked jets or guck floating around inside. The idle screws are set exactly how you explained Two. However I noticed when I quickly give the bike gas with a small crank of the wrist, the...

    Describe what you mean by the delivery idle screw. And do you have any pointers when looking into the idle circuit? Been gone nearly a week and finally have time to sit down and work on her

    71' chopper STILL not turning over

    Bike runs fine now. Carbs are adjusted and she idles beautifully. Still getting crazy motor vibrations and trottle cable is still super touchy. I have the carbs adjusted just as you said Two but mine is about 1 full turn from closed. I know it's not the throttle cable length either because when...

    Also my throttle is EXTREMELY touchy. The lever on the carb can move a hairline and the motor revs out of control. Can't ride it yet. Any ideas?

    I purchased the basic pamco and dual output coil. Basically followed the install instructions on Pete's website and wam bam thank you mam! Only issue I'm having is it won't start without a little starter fluid. Ill post some pics later today when I get home from work

    springer to narrow glide

    Personally I like the style if stock forks over the springer. And the ride is pretty bouncy on that front wheel ya know

    I kicked it and the motor turned over for the first time but quickly shut off. I'm going to adjust the points again, triple check em and see if that was the problem. You can never be too confident with these old points systems

    Thanks for the info brothas. I ended up buying the pamco but so ill see how that does. Coming back from coachella weekend with a new pamco waiting for me could possibly be the best thing ever.

    I checked points and both are getting power. I noticed that I only get a fart hear and there put of the pipes when I add starter fuel. So could it just be a carb problem now? Trying to cancel out as much as possibly can...
