I thought a lot of my wires were to old (heat) but tested good,plugs had to be replaced and contacts in plug from charging (stator)had to be replaced (rusted).Once you get them cleaned and understand were each one goes it's not so bad,NEW Harness Would be nice IF needed.
Did you know that the real Batmoble used for filming was felt ,Showed better on(Blk.n Wht.) film then.
You find the Guns n I'll get the felt  Don't see any Chrome there Rib's.May need a Triple Hack Job rear end though.

So how does one understand where each one goes? Thats what I need. If I knew that I would rip everything off the frame and rust proof it and paint it.

Well, I keep my bike out on my friends property because I have no garage and havent had time to get back out there and get my carbs out of the soup so they soaked for 2 weeks instead of one. I knew Chem Dip would eat varnish but I didn't know it would eat Aluminum  so I was surprised to see a pretty hefty coating of dark oxidation all over it. (extra week didnt help) I was pleased with the way it cleaned the jets, when I blew the jets out every one of them was clear and the throttle shaft was no longer siezed up.

I was glad to find out the oxidation and sticky coating of Chem Dip would come off with water and scrubbing. I took the carbs out on the driveway and turned the hose on slow and cleaned them out with a toothbrush. There is still an oxidation coating on the aluminum but it should clean up with an acid based aluminum cleaner.

Actually the PO had it completely rewired for $400, evidently they did it from scratch instead of using a harness, lol.

Ewww.I used Pinesol to clean my last set of carbs and it turned them the same way  I hit mine with some steel wool to clean them off. That acid based aluminum cleaner usually turns stuff white dont it?

Dont think so, I doubt if they could sell it if it did that. I'm going to try this stuff called Toon Brite, they use it on aluminum pontoon boats to clean the oxidation off of them, supposed to leave just clean metal.

Ah,cool. That sounds good. I gotta bud that used to wash trucks at the local TSA. The acid they used would turn a wheel snowflake white,but he could have it polished back out within a couple minutes. it was quite impressive to watch!

Nah,I'm pretty sure it was the Dr Pepper that caused it. 23 flavors was just too much. I think I'll give root beer a go next time. Too fizzy???

 Pulling the slow jets out, trying to keep a straight steady pull twisting a little to help it come out but not rocking side to side so I dont break out the mount. I managed to get all four of them out and bent every one of them but didn't break any of them. Yay!
