    I'm good on blinker fluid, but I can't find the old style alternator filters.

    Go to AutoZone. They are usually kept right next to the Rebobulators.

    DEAD THREAD? No updates on this thread. Was this issue ever fixed? Was it something as simple as a clogged petcock? Petcock turned halway between prime and on? I must know. Runs at high idle with choke? Tish400?

    Sorry all, got really busy with a Vulcan. The issue is not yet resolved but I have a really good idea of what it is. It has gotten better after a complete teardown and then a bench sync. I may have the jets wrong as well so I'm going to try some different sizes since I have the engine and wire loom off the bike and on the bench. Still needs the choke on to run but will idle now without it after it warms up. Will keep everyone posted really soon.

    I'll ask the question this time ;) Can we have an update please :D

    I was wondering if the diaphragms were leaking as I read through this....
