Addie has issues

And How did Addie do?
BDF

BDF,

Addie pops loud on decel and misfires during steady cruising as if it's starving for gas. Yet, you crack the throttle and she goes like stink. A few of us were helping Phil and found the pickup wires passed the tug-test, so we pulled the plugs an they were badly fouled. A new set of plugs made it better, but not right. So there's the enigma. How does a lean mixture foul plugs? Could be a coil wire / cap problem but we were out of time and parts were not available to swap in. If you pull those new plugs I'll bet they're sooty.

The sooty plugs is a new issue with this bike. My guess would be carb diaphrams. The diaphrams have numerous leaks in them and there was no money available to replace them. Phil touched up the holes with liquid tape for a temporary repair.
I'm betting the tape didn't hold and is probably making it's way around the sliders causing lots of problems.
The fuel mixture was dead on when checked on the dyno a while ago and yes, this bike does go like stink on WOT.
New diaphrams and springs would be the logical place to start. Used coils and wires are readily available. There are also acouple of other items to take a look at as well.
Phil is busy for the next while. I should be in my new shop in a week or so.
As soon as we can get together we'll straighten this bike out.

As for the T shirts, my orignal design idea disappeared into the world wide web somehow. I have resent it to the designer and hope to have something to post tomorrow.
Thx BDF

Ok boys and girls...after sitting here in 95*+ temps I am seriously contemplating a cooler clime...even for just a few days...so it looks like i will make this rally. I'm just unsure of how I am gonna get there and wether or not there are any rooms left...anyone need a roomate? I'll be calling the motel to see if anything is still open...I'll update as I know more...

If Phil wants to bring his bike up to O'ville after work I can swap out his diaphragms and resync his carbs.

Oh! BTW Phil that Spaghetti exhaust that didn't fit on your bike sounds and looks purdy on my bike

What are the dates? 2nd 3rd and 4th?And come home on the 5th? I just called to motel and they still have rooms available...I booked a double but I think I gotta call Ruby back and change the dates...I told her 1st thru the 4th...

[Big Daddy Funk]

Happy hour starting on July 1st

Hey Ben.
I'm booked in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th. and leaving on the 5th. If you are going to be there on the 1st I'll book that night too and we can sip coctails and toast Canada Day until everyone else shows up.
I have a heck of a road to show you if you want to stay over at my place after the rally for a few days.

That avery generous offer Rick and I'm liable to take you up on it...I will need to be traveling on the 1st as I expect it to take 2 days for me to get there. Still have to iron out some details yet...but it looks like I'll be there the 2nd,3rd and 4th and go home on the 5th...Thats the tentaive plan ...

[Huron52]

Hey Kids I was up in the area doing some last minute routes...
I know ... tough job but someone has to do it!

It's just a boat house... the cottage is somewhere up and behind it.

We will be going here too... (Screaming Heads)


And I don't know whether you will see this guy ...but I would watch out if you do run across him

[dpotter58]

Canadian side of Mt. Rushmore?

I guess we will be too far east to see it huh?

[Huron52]

Ok..... just one more rally to attend to and then I can put my routes that are just thoughts to paper.

We have a place to see on saturday and we have a very nice (or at least I think) place to eat.
Sunday looks like a load of riding. If you think the roads are straight.... think again. Yes we might even ride one or two of them twice. Well they are that good, for this part of the country.

I have a question that is bothering the most .... The distance between gas stations.
I don't want to stop more than I have to but I also don't want anyone to run out. 100 miles?
125 miles?
130 miles?
150 miles?
What say you all?
