Wasn't there a greaseman song about the doo-dads...' On her chin'
That is the igniter box that controls the ignition spark and sends signal to the tach. Good catch to find it. Obviously i was off on the...
Try to reach in there and rotate the tube a little bit to let it loosen up at the ends and swell those orings. Just don't get rough and break...
If you were able to tweak with the carbs some and get it to run better temporarily, then it is likely a fuel issue and not electrical, but i could...
Your return orifice in the master reservoir is clogged. Tiny hole under the shiny metal plate in the bottom of the reservoir--clean out the...

It depends how far off they might be. You could eyeball a throttle synch and get any bike to run, but a bench synch with drill bits can dial it...
It sounds like poor transition fueling. Has the bike sat over the winter with fuel in the bowls? Dirty or clogged pilot jets? Dirty or stuck...

It's a lot of trouble to do properly and doesn't affect engine performance--it's all downstream of the combustion chamber and just bleeds some...
A purpose-built stand is the best, but if you loosen the lugs first you can use Official Shade Tree Mechanic lifts in a pinch (will need a couple...
Sometimes they get stuck down in the bottom of the hole and you have to fish them out with a bent wire hook--it can look empty if the washer is...
i think you just like using that Kentucky Jelly, but i tried it on biscuits and it don't taste so good.
Since you said it set for a bit-- might need to check and clean any clogged pilot jets, mixture screw ports or transition ports. Of course if you...
You might even have that AR gene--but that's good sleuthing to notice it. 1. The carb bodies are just a casting and as such the lip is not a...
It's called the primary drive gear guide in the book, and goes between the primary drive gear and the starter clutch assembly. It show the side...
Time to try some new plugs--not really possible to clean fouled plugs...
