She is alive!

[Fefrank]

Shadow lives!. After a long battle to put the the boots, the new o-rings and then re-hosing the rebuilt carburetors right, and after getting everything set and done, she fired up. I was like yeaaaaah!!!!!!!!. There is a few things though. It seems to only be running on 3 cylinders on an off. It will rev up to like 4000 rpms and go back down to normal after 10 seconds or so and stay there for a about 40 seconds and goes back to 4000 rpms again. What could be the problem here? Could it be the petcock? or maybe I didn't do the carbs right, but I did eveything step by step. What do I check here guys?


Thanks in advance,

Nice feeling when she fires up after surgury!

Hi Felix, Sounds like you may have a leak in the petcock or carbs. Have you re o ringed the carbs? Definitely air from somewhere. Ray

I will definitely check the bike for an air leak. Where would it be leaking from the pet cock. How can i check that?
