Hey Fishman! Great to hear that you found the problem. I followed the thread you started on start-up issues, and even contributed at one point.
I couldnt be more thrilled with the warm weather; yes, I think that this brutal winter is over, but if it rears its ugly head again I'll get the gun out.
Got the FJR and the V-Star 1100 out these past days: intoxicating to finally wind the throttle.
Your Triumph America mods are quite interesting; yes, please do add some pics.
My '76 stock build is coming along; engine out of the frame, and wirebrushed it (it was very oxidized) using a set of 15 brushes, some fabricated myself. Polishing the covers this weekend. Almost ready to spray the frame with VHT Epoxy gloss black.
