So the carbs are clean, kits are done and the bolts were replaced with stainless allen head ones. Kit was nice enough to put my carbs in and the air filters while I was at work last night.
So, walking through the salvage place today, Kit spotted a float for my bike. Only one in the entire box like the kind I needed and she sees it.
I can't fit the round ones, I need the luggage style kind. Now I have one to replace the imploded one. Of course, she put the carbs and air filters back into the bike
last night. I just wish she remembered which one it is in.
I think I can get at it while on there and replace it but I have a feeling I'll end up pulling the whole thing back off.
The tires thing is getting on my nerves. I'm supposed to have 3.00 up front and 3.50 in the rear. There aren't many kinds out there in those sizes. I'm not putting my butt on the line with a pair of cheng shins.
Other than that, we ended up buying a few things for her bike instead like a brake lever and some nice turn signals. Kit's turn signal lights are mine now.
Of course, somewhere along the line, someone decided to cut the wiring, then twist them back together with a little electrical tape
nearby, then cut them at a 2nd place, then twist them back together... I've got them in the apartment to take them apart and see what I can do to get one continuous wire to the plug. I need to check if they are corroded inside anyway. I also have the switch pods from her handlebars up here too. She bought "M" bars and I'm trying to figure out if I can make a hole on the side of the pods to let the wires out the side somewhere or if I'm going to have to drill her new bars and run them inside. Looking at it, I think it might actually be easier to run them inside and it would be cleaner looking too.
Off to bed. I have a lot to do while she is at work tomorrow.
