So after a few more weekends of kicking the bike over to death with nothing more than a puf here and there, I ended up ringing Ants(he sold me the PMA). He guided me through the setup of the Boyer with his PMA, turns out I got it a bit wrong!!
Yesterday my dad in law came to visit, he has had his share in bikes in his lifetime. Took the bike out the shed, and put her on the sidestand.
"OK, let's hear what she does when you kick her over" he said. So I did.
Turned the key, flicked the kill switch, opened the fuel valve, and kicked her over........nothing.
Tried again...............nothing
One more time, I said to myself..........
VAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's alive!!!!!!!
Almost spot on!! Idle was a bit high, turned that down, checked the timing, that was a tad out, twisted the points board thingy a bit, and suddenly the idle speed dropped! Sounds great, I thought!! Got up, stood back to have a look, and she splutters a bit, I reach for the throttle but I was too late. Tried kicking her over, nothing!!!!! WTF!!!!!!
Here we go, AGAIN.
Hang on, the fecking fuel tap is OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I twist it to on, let the carbs fill up, and kick............... VAROOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy was I smiling!!!
I look over to my dad in law, he does NOT look impressed! What could it be? Too loud? Sounds wrong? What??
He put his hands on his hips, looks at me and says " I am VERY disappointed!"
"Why??" I ask
"Because I spent all bloody night last night, writing down a diagnostic sequence to go through all the possibilities to get your bike running, and we get her out and she runs on the third kick!!! I am not impressed!!" He said with a huge grin on his face!!!
So I thought, fuck it, I'm going round the block!!!!!
So I did!!!!!
TWICE!!!
She rides better than I could ever dream of! Surprisingly comfortable and easy to throw about!! I didn't go too fast, but it was GREAT!! I did notice she bogs a bit on the higher revs, possibly above 5000RPM. Other than that, I think she is ready to go get tested! I just have to sort the carbs out a bit, going to balance them soon.
Happy days!!!
