I'm confident now that me (extremely) intermittent problem with the engine cutting out has been cured! It only happened four times, and only after cruising along at highway speeds for an extended period of time. My current working theory is that the float/needle valve were sticking and starving the carby. Both items have been replaced, and it hasn't happened since. Not going to happen again. No way.

I am also confident that I have my neutral problem sorted. The combination of a slightly tighter primary chain, and some very careful clutch and clutch cable adjustments have solved that one once and for all.

Yep. Two problems permanently cured and never to return.

I've found when neutral is being finicky, it is time to adjust primary chain.

Go wrong?!? Surely you jest.

This baby is rock solid, dialed in, good to go. She is tight and right!

One thing for sure is there is simply no chance anything will go wrong on the way to Texas next month. None what so ever. Not. One. Chance.
