Alright, so now I’ve got what I need. New plugs, clutch cable, tire and tube, rebuilt front brake caliper, fresh gas and a good battery. By Friday evening I was feeling pretty good. I had everything together and was ready to check it out. Power on, engine cut off set to ‘run’. One kick, two kick, VVVRRRRROOOOOM! Awwww, yea. I backed the bike out of the parking space and headed for a trip around the parking lot. She was running a little rough but she was running none the less. I took a quick ride around the neighborhood and got a feel for how the bike rode. It was nice, though I really couldn’t tell the difference between a smooth ride and a rough ride since this experience was new to me. All went well until I got back to the gate. ( I live in a gated complex) The bike sputtered and stalled. I kicked a couple times and got her up and running. When I got back to the oil stained parking spot I’d been working in, the bike just died and I couldn’t get it started again. No matter, I would go inside and sleep well knowing the bike was running, for the most part. The next morning I started the bike and headed over to my buddy’s house.He was letting me use his garage so I could change the oil and he only lives a half mile or so away. When I got to his house the bike died. I pulled her into the garage and prepped her for an oil change that I could only guess was well overdue. I discovered something about old engines. Evidently, if there is a lot of gunk, dirt and oil covering something, there is a good chance it’s keeping fluid from leaking out. This happened to be the case when I cleaned away the muck covering the bottom of the oil pan. After changing the oil, I noticed there was a leak coming from a small crack near the oil drain bolt. The leak isn’t too severe but it does drain about a quarter quart a day. When I started her up to head back home, she was running pretty smooth. When I got the bike home she died on me again. Only this time it wasn’t starting back up. I took out the plugs and quickly found the culprit. Too much gas and not enough air. The plugs were stained with black soot and fouled out. I cleaned them off and replaced them only to have the bike not start at all. It wasn’t until Sunday morning that I figured out how to fix the problem. After reading some more online forums and consulting the manual, I figured out that I needed to check the settings of the air screws in the carburator. After cleaning the plugs again and setting the air screws to one and a half turn from tight, the bike started right up. I was able to ride around the neighborhood several times without the bike sputtering and stalling.I know that I’ll have to take apart the carburators and clean them out eventually, but for now I just want to ride. I figure I can do all the fine tuning this winter when it’s too cold to ride. Clutch Cable: 22870-374-000/ Cost was $15.95 plus $12.92 shipping from Powers Motor Sports.
