Almost Recycled....

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, there was this stupid idiot that decided to rebuild the top end on his motorcycle. Almost 2 years pass and he never got to firing it up. He then moved to California and took said bike with him in hopes that it would just start right up. Idiot.

Well after removing and replacing the carburetor from the bike about seven times, fidgeting with wiring, changing tires and tubes, and messing with the dumb air filter, it finally started. Turned out that the one thing I didnt want to mess with was the valves and cams; and thats where the problem lied. One intake and exhaust valve were way out of spec, thus not enough compression to run but enough to backfire once every other trip pushing it down the local street hill. Now the bike is actually hard to kick. I cant wait to ride now.


It also runs extremely hot. Like red hot. Like Franks Red Hot.


Id like to give a shout out to Brian and Nat, ESP, and Scotts for all the help reviving the 4fitty!

I almost forgot to mention the new goodies, red atmospheric lines on the carb and a red hot start nut from zip-ty to replace that mangled plastic piece of crap.
