Hey @5twins, what kind of connector did you use to get the wires connected? I found these and wasn't sure if they would work or not, just trying not to spend too much money...

Haha I'm a little lost to be honest. I just noticed though that you're not all that far from me so that's cool!!

Haha nj 1639 thanks, just used it as a reference for my problem really.

Should have it in my signature now.

Ah okay that's great thanks 5twins I will grab one of those.

Okay so I actually opened it up and man I'm bummed. One of the two tabs on the speedo gear clutch was bent to hell though I thought I fixed it the first time. I tried to bend it back but it sheared halfway. I put it back together and left it like that for now. I'm not sure if that's a good idea...

Hey littlebill, which amp level of the blades would I need? Would these work? https://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-VP-ATC-5-RP-Acting-Blade/dp/B009WQPY6I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1488051203&sr=8-3&keywords=blade+fuse+atc

Nah but I saw a 73 is like 20 bucks on ebay. So after I research it and make sure it will work I may just grab it. Thanks for the reply! I just wasn't sure if it was even possible that the drive gear would just cut out at intervals. I may just buy that 73 drive gear. . .

All right so another thing I've been trying to figure out: My speedo bounces with a range of about 5 mph both ways. So I've seen the suggestions: re-lube the cable and check for kinks. I just went and checked the cable and it looks lubed well from the last time I did it. I attached it to a drill...

Thanks DanielBlack I appreciate the suggestion. I don't wanna waste my money so I think I will go through and check each connection like you said. Thanks littlebill I'll check it out.

It is idling at about 1300 when hot. It doesn't hang though when coming back down. 5twins, do you have any theories on why it wouldn't start appearing until after it's been warmed up more? That's the part I don't get. I don't get any stuttering in the engine until after it's been ridden for...

Okay before I buy new coils and make a fool out of myself when I realize that's not the problem as you mentioned littlebill, is it possible that the engine is dying once it's warmed up because it is running rich? An update on symptoms: When it changes its mind about running and gets warmer the...

Shit I guess i better drain it then hahahaha. My god the oil in there. I'll check it when I get home. I hope I didn't hurt it.

Hmm yeah I replaced the caps as well. The engine is idling at maybe 13-1400 since it's been warmer weather. It doesn't hesitate or 'stutter' at idle till after it's warmed up. Also I forgot to mention that I seem to be leaking oil from the two breather hoses. I looked it up on here and it may...

Yeah I have a manual. I'm slow so I didn't find any info specific to my problem when I looked. Like I said probably just slow. So the circular cup that the points live in, is that what you mean? I see the oil on the right side though where the advance is.

Thanks guys! Been lazy. I think my first next task is to buy two new coils. Been dying on me still every once in a while. I keep the idle revs high with the throttle because I know to expect it now so that's probably why it's not so often any more. I changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires...

Well I investigated it by riding it and seeing what happens. I should clean the damn crud off the engine. Seems like some oil gets heated up on the fins and when I've looked down while riding it is thin and floats on the fin. Either way I'm not worried about it. I shall ride forth for now with a...

Aye, then investigate further I shall! :geek:

Okay, so I got the ol' girl to an inspection and passed. But then I couldn't start her back up! Hahah! She was flooded. Either way, this was the first time I've rode her and got her as warm as she was I imagine. I started noticing (both times while idling) white smoke coming from some unknown...

Sounds good I'll give them a call to be sure.
