What pissed me off today was letting someone else down. Ken was supposed to collect his beautiful K1 after it spent several months here as I worked thru Ken's wish list.
I had it all together, got all the electrics working great, installed and timed the Dyna 2000 ignition, everything was sweet until I poured some gas in the freshly painted tank, and turned the fuel tap on.
Fuel pissed out everywhere! Fuel was running out of one of the overflow tubes, out of the airbox, out of one of the breather hoses for Christs sake, there was gas pissing out in all directions. Great. I started pulling off float bowls and swapping out needles and seats, then one of the wire clips that retains the fuel bowl for #3 carb fell off. Fcuking Wonderful.
I challenge anyone to replace that wire clip while the carbs are in place, I gave up trying and rang Ken to tell him it wasn't gonna be ready. Ken was great, no problem, he said he'll pick it up in a couple of weeks which is great, but it still really pissed me off. Tomorrow the carbs are coming off, and I'll thoroughly clean them and install new kits while I'm at it. Cheers, Terry.
