    Excelsior and I have a love/hate relationship I swear!!!!!!!

    On my way home today it started to run rough, the idle lowered WAY down, and it ran even rougher.


    I got home and popped in the colortune to see what is going on.

    Number 4 is okay, got to number three and it started to backfire!!!?!?!??
    So I tried to get it to fire using the pilot screw adjustment, no change. Changed spark plugs, no change....

    WHAT NOW?!
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Why cant I have a normal month with this bike?!

          Swap the #2 & #3 plug wires. Does the issue move to #2?

                          We all make some kind of mistakes in life. Just chalk it up to experience and it will serve you well for many years to come.

                              Yeah.... I really don't know how I did it either.

                              I sat there looking at the wires and realized one was longer than the other, that's when I noticed my wires were reversed.


                              So now one more minor problem that's been haunting me since I got it...
