Parting out my 83. A few pics and listing in the classified section here.
It's not that I'm giving up so soon, it's more like not soon enough! I got this bike last March and I have honestly ridden it less than it's been...
Time to move on...thanks for the help though guys. I'll post an ad and get some pics up in the classified section. Grey you have a PM
Hey Grey, I mean the starter switch is physically broken. I took it off to check the contact points inside the switch itself, the small...
My buddy and I broke out the multimeter and tried it out. I have no idea what the numbers represent, I do apologize for my ingnorance, electrical...
Feels like I'm shooting you down Squirrel...I tried jumping it with my battery charger and ultimately my truck battery. It would definately spin...
Hey Squirell. I'm completely positive the leads on the sparkplugs are correct. I was out on the bike a couple of days prior to it not starting...

Thanks Dutch and Hank. I picked up a multimeter and I'll start going over things when I get home tonight, starting at that ground under the...

Thanks Hank. I checked that ground and it seemed solid. I even took it off and cleaned it up a bit but it still didn't fire up. I cleaned the...
I'm at my wits end with my 83! Rode it last Saturday and Sunday without issue. Monday morning I went to fire her up and it turned over...

Done. I was careful with the splooging so as not to get any on the internal side of the pan lip. I put some cardboard underneath the bike and...
I was thinking of doing the exact same thing Slowbird. I really don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with the leaks again.
Hey Heatmizr. That was my thought at first but I realized I had just done the carbs the week before and no critters in the box! I have no clue.
