            That was pretty cool.
            I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

                  I'll warm up the sync gauges.

                  • Doug,I haven't tried to start my bike in two months,it is still running on three cyl's but starts right up.The plugs when I last looked were showing rich but none were wet which kinda confused me,easy to do.
                    The a fib knocked me for a loop
                    Think a bike falls apart faster when not ridden than out on the road every day.
                    This arm chair riding is not that good

                      Okay. I'll warm up the multimeter too.

                              Did you drain the gas out of the carbs or run them dry before you let it sit for an extended period?

                              • Doug,in 35 years I have never run them dry or drained the gasBut then again I usually ride year round.I had a buddy bring over some fresh gas a few months back.Don rode it to my house before he passed and I rode it once to the Retired and Riding group earlier this year but I was still a bit unstable with shifting being a bear.
                                I have Seafoam in the tank and carbs.I do have new diaphragms for the carbs that need to be put in.
                                I will see what happens..I am busy in the morning and evening but the afternoon is free tomorrow
