Thanks for the welcome everyone. I just got it in may after a guy let it sitting for almost 5 years. It's inspected and running. Had to pull the gas tank out, clean it ,replaced the fuel lines, new plugs & wires cleaned the 4 barrel carb, I just replaced the fuel filter for the 3rd time in 3 months.
When I get on it , it starts sputtering and wants to fall on its face. I have to down shift and get the rpm's up . It started getting worse about about two weeks ago. It still does it after I put the new fuel filter on last week. Going to try some more choke & carb cleaner tomorrow. If it still carries on the last thing I can think of is to pull the gas tank again and have it dipped.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on with it? Any suggestions would help. I'm running low on money after throwing about 3 grand into it.
I also had to replace the alternator, voltage regulater, points and battery, basically most electric things. The previous owner hooked up the battery wrong when he was drunk and fried most electric parts. Left it in that way for years , with it just sitting there for years. Any ideas what to do about it running rough? Slow speed it runs better. Thanks
