I got the tire(s) issue straight. Got the charging issue straight. During that time (when it would crank) the engine rane great. This morning I got on it for a ride and it ran ROUGH. I had to wipe the morning dew off the seat, so I was thinking maybe some wires were damp, and that it would get better. It didn't. Power was lower, it would miss, and backfired a few times. I rode 5 miles and brought it home. About 3 hours later, I tried again. This time it ran fine - but after stopping for 5 minutes at the in-laws, I had a hard time cranking it. It would run and shut off. It was a little low on gas, but not that low. I went to the gas station and filled it up. I had a hard time getting it to crank (I know the charging system is working well now LOL). I get it cranked, but it cut off on me at every other stop sign coming home.
I just went out there and tried again and took a while to get it to crank. It still shuts off on low idles. And once it backfired like a frickin cannon just while I was trying to crank it.
What changed? It was running smoothly.
