    Soooo, I discovered the other day that all four of my pick up wires were broken or almost so... i did a hack patch job with some 14 ga. wire and crimp connectors and the bike now runs 200% better!!! All of my cold running issues and low end roughness have resolved!

    Not sure what the best method is to repair these wires... any suggestions?

        Hi, Phil, you reminded me I did this fix some years back...

          Yep Tim, it's a problem that plagues almost every one of these bikes. It can fool you into thinking you have carb problems. BTDT
