I just can't wait  until he gets the bike to the nirvana of stock...and then has to put up with that big'ol flat spot at 4k rpm...

 :lol:

[garrett]

Whoa, whoa, whoa......what flat spot?  I prefer to short shift around 2000 RPM like the Harley folks.  haha.  I am use to Land Rovers, so flat spots in the tall part of the gear is normal.  Must be a British thing.  

Will fairy fluid get out the stripper glitter I got on my shirt?

No f'ing way!  The weather sucks and there's no lane splitting.  I might never go back... :roll:

[garrett]

Yep still at it.  

So I get the stock 105 jets in there and button everything back up.  Backed out the pilot jets 1.5-2 turns as well after seated.  

Toss the tank on and it fires up and idles good with a little throttle appears to be AOK.  The neutral light isn't working and it won't start in neutral unless the clutch is in.  Assuming that's just a bulb or wire issue.  

I go about putting the rest of the plastic on and hooking up the low fuel sender and clock.  

15 minutes later I try and fire it up and nothing.  Turns over and over, but doesn't fire up.  

Bowls have fluid and everything looks clean.  

I pull the carbs off again for one more quick look and clean out with some starter fluid, pull main jet, etc.  Everything back on and nothing again.  

I don't have comprehensive insurance, so I can't burn it.........yet.  :)  

What am I missing?  The weak link is usually the person sitting on it.

seeing how it won't start without the clutch pulled in and you have no neutral light ................I bet if you put the sidestand up it will fire right away  :oops:  :lol:

[garrett]

I actually put it up and down, in gear, in neutral, etc.  Still the same result, but after I calm down a little I will head back over to my shop and try again.

If it ends up being that simple, I will stab myself with a flat head.  I am getting good at getting those carbs installed on all the boots within 2 min.
