Thanks Kit!

It so happens that I am a photographer. I was doing that for a living, but had to change careers
due to my professions economic obsolescence. I just took my CA real estate exam last Thursday
and if I passed, i start work quite soon. The market here in Santa Monica/Venice and the west side
here is not suffering to bad right now.. and commissions are good because the cheapest properties
around here are a half a million $$.

Anyhoo.. about the progress on my bike, I had the top-end as mentioned, and she is put back together now.
Unfortunately The #3 cylinder STILL isn't firing. #4 is now.. so I am getting perplexed. Im getting the carbs
re-synced on tuesday and HOPEFULLY it will work after that.

Ya know, ever since I first started following your thread I had this nagging feeling you weren't firing on all cylinders ;)

Good luck!

This cylinder thing has been a nightmare. I just want it to run smoothly with
no headaches. I know I post it a lot.. but i figure ill that that 1 response that
is the fix!

we shall see.

other than that though.. she is now idling smoothly, the exhaust is no longer smokey
( i was burning oil before too) and with those awesome spoked wheels on with new tires
she is starting to look real sharp. When I am out and about i get a lot of comments.
