Hey everyone, new to the forum. Just got finished chopping my 81 XS yesterday and took her for a ride to work last night. It's about 15 miles one way. Coming back this morning I was about a mile from home and just got off the freeway when the bike didn't want to idle. I thought it may have been running low on fuel so switched to reserve. It died so I kicked her back and barely got home. while running when I gave it gas it would cut out and die and it felt like the carbs. Noticed the headlight was dim so tested the battery and it was good, right at 12 volts but when I turn the key on it immediately dropped to 5 volts and kept falling. I just installed a Pamco kit when I chopped it too. It ran fine on the way to work and about 50 miles before work yesterday. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
