It lives

[Guest]

The 83 1100 motor that is in my sh!tbag yellow future dragbike runs!
The wiring and fuse block was melted and it was missing three rocker arm tappets. I cut the orange and white wire before the coils and tapped into it at the igniter to the battery and with my V&H sidewinder without the can on it it roared to life.
I used the 36mm 1150 carbs with 135 mains and didn't touch the needle.
It was a fire breathing dragon shooting flames out the pipe.
I'll be putting this engine in my L while I build a 1230 motor.
Yay, I have something to ride this winter.

Excellent, it's dangerous only having one bike, sounds like you got away with it.

I started it with a leaky petcock and arcing a screwdriver across the solenoid.

Maybe that explains why the compression was so high

Sacreligious, MA. As long as it doesn't have black pistons, she'll be good!
