Good on ya Michael.
I want to go to bed.
Two fixes;
If using the standard wiring harness? it is too short. Pull the tank and seat off and reroute it so it doesn't stretch and pull wiring terminals out of the joining sockets(hard to find when you are stranded). Make sure you lock to lock it to test.
Make sure you don't stretch/pull on harness when manipulating it to make sure the seat goes on without pinching it around top of subframe air/box area. The harness is a mic/hair too short in my opinion.
The other is the resistor in the spark plug cap.
Both these things can cause you till kick it till you die(on a bad day)
Starting;
There is a little drain screw on the bottom of each carby bowl. If your bike has sat for a while, 3/4 weeks drain them.
Fresh 98.
Cold start:
Do not hold throttle, always hold handle bar to the left of throttle instead(DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE, USE THE CHOCK LEVER UP AND DOWN TO KEEP IT RUNNING AS IT WARMS). Make sure kill button is mounted where you can hold it on at same time with palm, whist choke is on and hold decomp on with left hand, kick it six times to prime.
let decomp out, stop holding kill botton down with palm. gentle roll engine with kick start to the top of the comression stroke. One hard boot, first crack every time.
Hot;
same preceedure, but no choke and only give it two priming kicks with the decomp and kill button depressed.
then top of comp stroke one MANS kick, first crack.
after being upside down and or flooded:
Turn fuel off. Hold throttle wide open, hold decomp and kill on and give it six good clearing kicks.
Turn fuel back on. Position top of compression stroke and kablamo. peice of cake.
Good night
