Still getting spark?

 

[94RS]

Yup. Shocked the shit out of myself :lol:

 

[R13]

:lol:

Probably is a carb/fuel issue

 

[94RS]

I think tomorrow I’m gonna try draining the tank one more time, and replacing the fuel line and filter again. Possibly some shit caught in the line that fresh gas knocked loose :what:

 

[R13]

Possibly

Get a spray bottle and pour some gas in it, pop off the breather and try to start it with the spray bottle... think “manual fuel injection” :rolf:

An old trick I use every time I’m working on a lawn mower that won’t start :lol: if you can start it that way and keep it running the vibration and vacuum will get any leftover gunk out of the carb

 

[94RS]

TIL....

(Op was asking about wiring a kickstand switch)

Actually makes sense since the kickstand tries to go up when I move the bike even a foot with the kickstand down.

 

[R13]

I could see me forgetting about that and dropping the fucking bike in the garage :lol:

 

[94RS]

Here’s one to make you say “wtf!?!?!” :lol:

And the price...

 

[R13]

That’s downright disrespectful :lol:

A 99-04 mustang GT in that condition would fetch $7-9k, and there’s a million of those fuckers around.

 

[94RS]

You want disrespectful, try a $40k, extremely limited edition race bike with 89mi that they can’t give away at almost half price...

 

[94RS]

Pulled this old timer out. Put new exhaust gaskets in, replaced the petcock and took off that shitty HID and headlight/bucket.

Couldn’t get the single carb setup to sell, even at a reasonable price. Might as well see if I can do anything with it :what:

 

[R13]

Or just sell it for like $500-$800 and dump that into the C70 or the XBR :mrgreen:

 

[94RS]

I’ve had all the parts to fix the thing since before I bought the XB, just haven’t bothered because I bought the XB :lol:

The only thing the C70 really needs (not full build related) is a new exhaust, and there’s literally nothing left to do to the Buell after getting the race pipe on.

 

[R13]

there’s literally nothing left to do to the Buell

A build is never finished... even when it’s not a build :rolf:

 

[94RS]

No, it’s pretty fucking finished :lol:

Only thing I could see myself getting for it is carbon fiber headlight bezels. And those are only like $90.
