Starting after carb rebuild and valve adjustment...?

Hey K.....this post has no suggestions for fixes. HOWEVER, others have said it-- I'll say it to: DON'T get frustrated and give up. DON'T get rid of the bike. You WILL eventually fix it.

If you want to talk to someone who had trouble, look up Moellear. "We" took his carb rack apart somewhere around, oh, 10 times or so before finally get it solved. That was apparently something as simple as things not quite lined up right in rack re-assembly but it was beating us for the whole summer. We ended up winning the battle though.

I had a bike that would go 3/4 of a mile and blow the fuses, after running around the house many times. Run around the house for an hour. Go half a mile away......quit. turned out to be a bad regulator and tci.

When you get frustrated, stop and get a cold drink and relax. Electrical stuff can be taxing, but you'll be fine. Just hang in there.

Well thank you for the motivation... I am leaving to Afghanistan in the first week of march so hopefully I get it going before then so I dont have a problem to come home to, and be able to just hop on it and ride!!!

It can & will be done Kuman. You need to r i d e before you ship out. The clutch is a new beast if you never did one before. Check out BF's write up.

You have a digicam so if your stuck on any part, take pictures, post and ask questions. After your experiment (showing it wasn't releasing) you clearly had problems with it. Now that it's apart get it fixed and right, then if need be we'll get back to the electrical problems-if they are the problem.
