    Yea I'm pretty internet dumb and not mechanically sound, hence, I post stupid questions.
    The bike sat last winter in CO. See initial post on ignition swap. Will post pics of plugs ASAP. I was also told to check the gap on my plugs are .038.
    I will also get some breather bolts or similar to change up the venting.
    I'm not on this site daily.

            Farmall,
            I have a Job. Don't have time to bird dog Chop Cult. I'm fully aware it's my problem, I would like to get it fixed and appreciate all the help/advise......but remember "I guess they found the least internet literate human available to visit forums."

              Guy's .....

              I wouldn't be throwing S&S under the Bus so soon....

              They provide the Tech line as a free service to all that needs help with problems on there scoots....
              The Tech Boys man the phones all day to help ya out, not only on the parts that they sale but for any and all others manufacturers as well.... Now I would say that is over and beyond offering help...

              Not many company's have this going on...... We are very lucky that S&S does this for us at no costs to us ... !!!

                S&S carbs are bare bones simple. Is your accelerator pump on? Are you twisting the shit out of the throttle before you start? Kick or estart? Are you using the enricher?

                I don't know how I feel ab it being ignition if it only gives you a few fits off the bat and then runs normally.

                If the acelerator pump is on, I'd turn it off and see what happens on a cold start, then adjust once it's warm and only if you have a stumble off idle. I don't really use mine but I've got my S&S intermediate fat since I'm running a thunderjet.

                I agree w stew - nice to even see someone chime in from S&S.

                    Jesse does S&S tech also help with ignition/wiring problems??????????

                    Nothing is free...... They make plenty of money......... I'm sure they sell a bunch of stuff through the tech lines........

                          IDK....

                          Maybe they don't want to step on anybody's toes..... ??

                          Bottom line is..... The number and chat site is there to use.....
                          Be your call rather to take advantage from their vast knowledge base or not.... Nobody is going to twist your arm to do so....

                          Speaking for myself .... I use that line a lot ..... But I'm a dummy and still learning ...!!!
                          (They have been very beneficial over the many years to keep me from fucking up.)

                              You have no idea how close to being right you are...... Lol



                              Discreet, Humble is the workforce of S&S Cycle .....
                              (At least in my eyes)

                              George did well as his Son has also done ..



                              Here's my plan.....
                              If I butter them up enough, when I show up in Wis. at the S&S Ranch they will throw me the keys to the Morgan and say "Don't be gone all day"



                              (All I got to say is ... It better not be full of Gas..!!!)

                              .../// https://youtu.be/wG_NZaF1q-E \\\...

                              Might need a new tire when I get back.... Lol
