Ian,
The original plugs are NGK but a different part number, I am not sure =
if I can get that part number but I am going to try. I finally have a =
good idle with choke and after a good long warm up a good idle with no =
choke. I fired her up and ran up the street and the bike felt like it =
was running good but I didn't have enough gas to go very far. I feel =
she is running solid enough now to go for a good ride. I ordered a new =
oil pan gasket and Speedo cable yesterday. Once all that is done and =
the registration I am hitting the back roads.
I finally got the wife to buy off on getting me a new bike, but the =
deal is once the house is sold and we get some debt paid off, probably =
the end of this year or first of next. I think it is going to be the =
V-Star 1100 in black, nice classic look easy to find service in this =
area and in Europe. I have to agree on the price of the Indians they =
are sharp but I don't think I'll ever pay that much for a bike. Once I =
get the new ride I can really restore my V700 the way it should be done. =
After that I am going to look for a 850 police to restore. =20
I have been wrenching on my Jeep, damn water pump went out on it =
yesterday. I had to tear half of the motor apart just to get to the =
water pump. I have to put it back together tommorrow. Wish I could =
have gone to the car show with you, the shows around here suck, really =
small. I guess I'd take a Bugatti if I had too.
well stay warm, talk to you later.

Rick

Rick,
=20
Good to hear that you are sorting things out. I'll be interested in =
hearing how the run goes. By the way...what type plugs were in there =
originally? I wouldn't hesitate to return the plugs that were causing =
the popping and get a new set. I don't think there is any reason why you =
can't go with what is recommended in the manual.
=20
Up here in the snow infested north our groundhog(s) predicted an early =
spring. I think yours predicted 6 more weeks of winter. I'll take our =
predictions over yours....but with all this snow I find it hard to =
believe we will ever see winter again.
=20
You are so lucky that you can get out for a ride. I can hardly wait to =
start my bikes for the first time this spring. There's something about =
hearing that sound for the first time. I was at the Montreal auto show =
today and I saw the new Indian motorcycle. Not a bad looking machine but =
all things being equal ($$ wise) I wouldn't trade the Ambo. No way! =
However I would have traded it for was a Bugatti car they had on =
display. Value? $5million USD. Beautiful car.
=20
OK....Let us know how the run went.....Ian

Well Ian,
The new plugs I put in were the NGK BP6ES that fouled out. I now =
have the ones back in it that were in it when I drug the bike out of =
storage, no poping running like it should. I ordered a speedo cable and =
oil pan gasket from MG and asked them about the pressure as well, bottom =
line is it is normal because the down stroke moves as much air inside as =
in the combustion chamber. Hope I explained that understandably. Any =
how I am going to proced to register the bike and give her a good 20 or =
30 mile test run with a friend who just bought a 78 Gold Wing LTD. That =
should let me know for sure how the bike is running eh.

See Ya,
Rick
