    It lives

    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.
    1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

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


    Life is too short to ride an L.

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

          Maybe that explains why the compression was so high

                  Good news Bill!

                  Now I've got to spend a couple of weekends in the "man room" and get my "Jessie" put back together.

                  Best of luck to you.


                  Thank you for your indulgence,
