Rob Peters Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Replaced the plugs again today and I also replaced the plug wires. I then took her for a test drive. Sure felt great to get a ride in. rob 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Spent the weekend getting her ready for spring.... IF that every comes. lol Changed oil & filter, lubed the front end, re jetted the carb, chased that "mystery wire" down, pulled the rear seat.... and "no", there's no paperwork tucked in there. Put the re conditioned dash and battery back in, added a squirt of gas down the carb...... And "BINGO"!!! She fired right up. Now, just need to get the new tires on and wait out the snow the weather woman says is coming tonight. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The ‘71 came out of hibernation Friday. The ‘70 was extracted from her cocoon today. Both gave me no issues starting and felt great on the 10 - 12 mile initial ride. The AC compressor on the ‘71 gave up the ghost (the pretty green dye in the refrigerant matches the Lime Green Poly perfectly 😂), but whatya gonna do? New compressor already ordered and hopefully delivered and installed in time for Carlisle. PS - the day I figure out how to get pictures loaded in sequence is the day Dennis’ feet don’t appear in his pictures 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
