#78427 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Senior Boarder Posts: 389 did pop rivet break it of do I have SVS 7 Months ago   went over to pop rivet's to change the oil and bring her home. She's only firing on the front cyl. - rear wants to suck - I started it regularly over winter - put stabilizer in the gas, the gas was low tho - never too much oil, never premium gas, never lugged it and didn't leave the choke in too long We fogged the heck out of it yesterday and left it overnite to sit. Going in now to hopefully get it running right. So did pop rivet break my bike or do I have SVS?   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78432 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

Don't jump to SVS yet plugs are a cheap fix.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78438 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10745 Re:did pop rivet break it of do I have SVS 7 Months ago   "started it regularly" .... this year leave it alone. Just fog it and let it sit. Starting it produces a lot of unburned carbon which you can't get rid of by letting it idle in the garage. As you know, it's especially a problem in the rear. The fogging should help get the rear running again. Also .... "stabilizer in gas" .... I assume you dumped the old gas. even with stabilizer the gas deteriorates. I've found that the carb sometimes gums up over winter and a good cleaning should help it run better overall. Going up to 26 here so hope to get out for the first 'real' ride of the season. Unfortunately, there's a lot of spring cleanup to do. Still some snow here, how's Kingston?

Senior Boarder Posts: 389 Re:did pop rivet break it of do I have SVS 7 Months ago   weather is beautiful, snow all gone, went in and started the bike, no change. Going golfing so I can't do anything until tomorrow. I'll change the plugs. With pop's expertiece I'm sure we'll get to the problem...I hope. No, I didn't dump the gas, but it's fresh now. The last time it was started it ran like a charm,,,them bam here it is   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78509 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation!

Who would have thought two plugs would foul simultaneously and lay dead...   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #78749 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH?
