yeah i figured i would wait until the intake gaskets fail to get her running. was hoping to be done with this nightmare but then again 17 years sitting in a barn. im still amazed i havent shot mouse turds out my exhaust yet. im positive this things is camed. it just sounds mean on ether. i want to ride this thing this weekend.
With your carb as messed up as you say it is you are gonna have to put it on a trailer and pulled to ride her anywhere by Saturday.
had to switch how i set things up the first time with the carb. now we play the waiting until Harley opens in the morning and see if my gaskets were the problem.
did you see the pics of those beat intake gaskets? i had 1/2" of movement in the intake up and down. it felt like the carb was just flapping around in there. i called the dealer and the service guy laughed and said no wonder it would not start.
