Looking good!
IMO it’s good to get them running and even riding and shake them down. Nothing worse than grinding on nice new powder coat or paint because this tab has to be moved or that bracket angle has to be changed because of some unforeseen circumstance that seems to be building custom...
I don’t care what they say, they can keep their Holleys and edelbrocks. Those Rochesters are fantastic in a street rod if you know how to talk to them.
Aww man haven’t been to the dragon in 15years!!! Never sent a bike around I was that buster in a ‘82 RS 😂 but it was fun. Have fun be safe , soak up sun sun!
What am I looking at here? On the rich side for sure This is after a 3/4 throttle run. I’ve got idle dialed perfect and it looks and feels great up to 3/4T , after that it seems to fall on its butt. Does the strap look like I need to add more timing? What are the flakes on the strap.
Like Mike said vibration is the killer. Hugh’s cap should come with a spring bracket. When I was running Hugh’s system I switched to a very small antigravity 12v battery. Does away with the headlight flicker. The battery actually takes up less room than the cap
I would highly suspect your e advance. When they get hot they go to hell. Those xs charge units are famously unreliable.
Check out the gonzo thread and get in touch with Jim.
I’ve been running a gonzo box for 2k miles without a hiccup. Slight mods to the wiring harness on your 80 tci bike...
