    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well I have taken on this project and so far it is going great! Using the amazing information i have found on this site i have gone through and repaird the wireharness that the PO said cant be fixed. i have just finished ordering everything needed to clean and make the carbs flow like new with new orings clamps a new needle and seat and some other odds and ends. also had to get a speedo cable since the PO used it on another project. the only thing left to order is new coils since i have one thats dead ill just order new for both cylinders. I cant wait to get this bike running it will be awesome to get this classic back on the road where it belongs. did i mention it only has 9,700 miles on it and i got the bike for FREE! I plan on providing more progress as I do more to the bike. Thank you all for the amazing support.
 
Good to see you're putting a thread up Scott, and I'll be following along on the progress :)

Now you're missing one key thing... pic's! ;)
 
I have some pics. I need to load the to my computer. Should have them on tonight.
 
Mouse over the picture you want to post, click on the image code option which copies it, and then paste here.

Just one of them
 
Yup, Scott's got you on the right track there Scott... two Scott's in one thread hey? Haha... sorry, couldn't help myself..

She looks good :D
 
As you can see I have plenty of other projects im working on also lol. I got a two seater go-kart to get running and there are two racing go-karts in my garage. Both racing karts are for sale if anyone is interested lol.
 
Just as an update I have replaced the missing speedo cable, gone through the entire wire harness and found 3 bad wires and 3 bad grounds. I now have working headlight high and low, working brake light and working turn signals. All my gear position lights work and I just need to replace the bulbs for the right turn signal and high beam indicator in the dash. I have orderd carb parts and will be cleaning those this weekend. With any good luck I should be running and riding next week. Then I just need to get a title lol
 
So today I have finished my wiring and got it all tucked away nice and neat. All my turn signals work headlight and tail/brake light work. I noticed that on my little dash the right turn arrow and the high beam indicator don't work. Are these replaceable?

Yup they certainly should be. They were on my E and I've seen others that are the same.
