Early morning test.
This morning I got up to start the bike after sitting all night long.
I pulled the fuel in-richer choke and it fired off on the second roll of the engine.
It idled up and about 30 seconds later I pushed the chock in and it was loping along at low idle without a miss hitting on both cylinders.
Now I am going to go to the auto parts store and get a different starter relay and toss the junk they had on it.
The old relay burned up 2 days ago due to a short when I stuck the battery back in.
I looked on line for the replacement relay and it is $45.
One for an old ford or a universal relay is about $12.
Plus there is no way to mount it without the air box.
I looked on line and found the two exact K&N filters they sell for $40 something dollars each.
The jets are cheap around $6.00 or so.
The other box contraption they sell is what brings the price up to $295 and this is what the side plate and old starter relay fits on.
Plus there is a bracket that comes with it to secure the carburetors.
It is a flat piece of metal about 6 inches long painted black with two holes drilled in it and some bolts.
I can do this for just a little over $100 bucks all together by fabricating my own stuff.
