Curt,

Thanks for you interest in my problem... In the end it turned out to simply be bad gas! Something I have NEVER experienced in my lifetime (51 y.o.) until now... Never say never so the saying goes. I am actually not upset having gone through all of this. I removed the entire top end and right side cam cover to discover endless amounts of mods to this motor. The gentleman who owned it prior sunk a lotta $$ into this motor to include: Mikuni HSR42, Vance & Hines 2 into 1 exhaust, S&S forged pistons, S&S crankcase reed valve, S&S rockers, S&S pushrods, S&S cam gear drive (no more chains!!!), S&S HL2T Tappets and Andrews cams. The heads were also worked by Short Bock Charlies who ported them and installed oversized valves and compression releases (10:1 compression ratio). The motor is also bored to 95 cubes. I recently put it on a dyno here during the Thunder Beach (Panama City Beach FL) Rally and was very satisfied with the results. Factory Spec H.P. 67.44, now 93.45 (26.01 gain) Factory Spec Torque 78.17, now 100.66 (22.48 gain)... No wonder this thing flies!

Stay safe and ride FREE....

Paul
