me and a buddy just bought 3 bikes, 81,78 and a 75. I rode the 78 home yesterday and around town and it started running worse as the day went on, 1st and 2nd were boggy at first and then would take off. it was boggy no matter how much gas i gave it.
Then it stalled in the intersection and we havent been able to get it running since. I have had the charger on it, ive kicked it and all that. It almost started a few times but in the heat and humidity I could only take 15 minutes of kickin it over.
Im pretty new to the bike stuff. I have basic mechanical knowledge from working on jeeps to trucks to people crap they dont want to fix. I have wanted to get into bikes forever and wanted a xs650 forever. So i made the plunge!
any help would be awesome! oh and if you need some parts I have more than I want (came with the deal) I will be posting in the for sale section when I get it all sorted out.
I will try and post pictures soon.
Thanks
Stone
