Nah not quite... it's just a matter of logistics. Saturday's are the only weekend days I get a chance for that sort of thing and that will be the first one when I actually will have time to kick it over after getting the exhaust made up... can't wait!

Logistics? Like packages? They don't drop it off at your doorstep?

[Guest]

Haha nah logistics as in getting everything organised and ready... putting all your ducks in a row... etc.

Oh, gotcha! I was kinda shocked for a while lol.

Looking forward to you getting it fired up! And don't forget about the 1100. I think I'll have my carbs back on Monday. I don't mind the wait since I gotta package up these patches and stuff. Got a long weekend ahead of me!

[Guest]

Yeah me too!

I was actually just thinking I should re-post and say.. now to get back *on* topic... how's the 1100 going? haha

I don't mind going off topic every once in a while.

I just checked tracking. The carbs and check panel control unit is in Federal Way, WA! That's 10 mins from my house. It will be delivered tomorrow afternoon.

So I hope to have a good update tomorrow!

[Guest]

Excellent! Is it afternoon there yet?

No Pete it's still morning here.

No Pete it's still morning here.

Yeah. What he said. Well, it's almost 12 PM now. But the mailman is inconsistent. He may be here at 1 PM, 2 PM, 4 PM, etc. I never know when he'll be here! But I always listen for that little white van . I love it when he gets here with stuff!

[Guest]

So how about now then?

[Flaming Chainsaws]

So how about now then?

It's 1:30 PM now and he's still not here. But at least we get mail service on Saturday .

[Flaming Chainsaws]

Alright. It's here! Got my carbs back and a check panel control unit. Will install them now and post results later today.

[Guest]

Nice! Looking forward to the update

[Flaming Chainsaws]

Bill, if you're reading this, the carbs look great! No more crappy black paint!






Also got a CPCU from Bill. Installed it but still no lights so the problem is somewhere else...


Man... I always find myself looking back as I'm walking away .


So... I had to start it up. Turned the choke on, hit the start button, and the RPM was between 2,000-3,000 RPM. That's as far as I got. The bike is too loud even at those RPM's. So I will start it up again on Monday when my neighbors are at work .

You didn't try turning the idle down? Ray.
