Hi Guys,
OK, I pulled the plug this morning...it looks rich - mostly black. Before when I looked at it (before I richened it up) it had that nice chocolate color. I also used a lot more gas than I had expected...the tank was about 3/4 full, and I probably put on about 30 miles...I think I should have gotten better mileage - so I went back to the leaner (leanest) setting: I went back to the notch closest to the end of the needle (leaner) and I think it's happier there. Better acceleration, I think.
Here's what's interesting - at 3/4 throttle, it will slowly go up to about 27mph. Motor is not screaming which is good...but it won't go faster - as I open the throttle more, it seems to bog a bit, ie, doesn't slow down, but doesn't go faster....so I'm thinking that Bob might be onto something.
I made sure the plug is connected well, and I can visually see that the blue and black wires are connected well (crimped, not soldered), but they pass the "tug test".
So...plug wire? I certainly don't mind changing that, but silly question: how? Isn't the CDI sealed?
Also - plug gap - I never set it. Just popped it in. It's the NGK plug, what should I set the gap to?
Another hint - for the first time in about a month, my speedo reset! It happened 2 days ago - I forgot to turn on the fuel lever....when the motor died, it reset the speedometer. Weird, huh? It hasn't reset since....also, my light failed. This is on a completely different circuit, not using the bike as a ground or anything. These things may all be completely unrelated, but I figure I had better tell all of it to get a good diagnosis.
Any help is appreciated, guys. And Thanks. And please pardon my ignorance....I'm trying!
Still waiting for Fedex to show up with my Springer Forks!
