That had crossed my mind, but the wiring is so old and badly cracked. Its all original. But you know I will Try that anyway and maybe save a few bucks.

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.

Umm, which wiring is old and cracked? If it is the high tension wires, replace them, they probably are leaking. Members have dug them out; they are epoxied in. Then replaced them. Of course, the best way to do coils on our bikes is the Dyna green coils and the Dyna wires in your favorite flavour.

It's even more important if they are below 11 VOLTS.
Was the engine cold or warm?
Were the throttles open or closed?
Those suggested readings in the manual are with a fully-warmed engine and the throttles wide open.
.
The carbs are completly off the bike so no need for throttle to be wide open. The bike doesnt run thus all the trouble shooting. Its was about 17 degrees F outside when I did the test. However I called a shop near by and they said to add 5% to those numbers because the engine was cold. I do understand that I could have talked to a guy that was new to the business. So I am open to other ideas. If you think i'm wrong with something I did then please reply. I will look into it. Thank you.
