YOU DOGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

What size and how many PSI????????????????????????

KKK K03 and maybe 8-10 psi??? wont know for sure till I actually get the thing running and see how things are a/f, when boost starts to build, etc.

adjusted the carbs on my 850GL, added the side covers, and the tank. Getting ready to take it for a test ride.

I think I'm gonna check the air in my tires, put a little gas in the tank and go for a spin, 80 degrees here today, piture perfect weather! Whoopie!

It was a perfect day to go riding, weather was gorgeous. I did put air in the tires, and I finally put air in the front forks, went and visited some friends in a town 50 miles away. But it was when I was going to leave the
engine wouldn't turn over. Rechecked all the switches, and hit the starter button and nothing, not a click, hum, buzz or anything, but I had the neutral and oil pressure light. So, I put it in 2nd gear and push started it and drove home.
Now I'm in the process of troubleshooting it, checking switches and ohming out wiring. I lost an hour and half looking for that little spring that goes into the clutch safety switch that I took apart, never thought I'd find it but finally found it in front of the
starter cover plate, how it got there I haven't a clue because it did hit
the concrete first.
Anyway, I got 12volts to the starter, my starter button works, the safety switch works, what I haven't got is continuity from one side of that clutch satety switch to the starter relay. So........... I guess I'll print a wiring diagram and go from there.
I didn't start out to wrench, but wrenching I did.

I disabled my clutch safety switch. Just unplug it from the harness, put a jumper wire in, and it no longer is in the picture. Just remember not to start it in gear....

I've given some serious thought to that. My '78 Skunk didn't have one.
I downloaded the wiring diagrams, wasn't one for my year model, so I got one for a Skunk without that
switch, and one for the '80 model with transistorized ignition, and am using both of those to do continuity checks.

Worked on the troubleshooting the wiring to my starter circuit. Found the problem, the grounding wire to that clutch safety switch on the left side of the handlebars runs to the starter button on the right side. A connection inside the headlight bucket pulled free. I figured as much as I didn't have continuity from one side of the clutch safety switch to the starter button and wiring from both goes into the headlight bucket. Sure enough when I pulled the headlight off there it was staring at me. I reconnected it and it started right up. Glad to have it running again.

Building new exhaust for the bike and finishing up the spacers for the carbs.

I didnt accomplish a damned thing today except to drive myself to a massive headache trying to understand the onslaught of info that everyone was trying to give me on my carbs..I know they all meant well,but its all a foreign language to me. At one point i actualy picked up a 2 LB sledge and was gonna smash every bike i got into oblivion..They just PIZZ me oof to the point i literally cant think. And i amn ot lying here..Carbs and electrical drive me to a state of being psychotically angry.

I switched out a destroyed front engine mount. It was ripped clean through!

Wide band?

Painted my swingarm and started taking apart my carbs. See my project thread for pictures
