Default Almost...

Raining most of the day, so only got limited miles today (breakfast run about it).

So my next project is getting my first Henderson legal on the road (needs tranny and clutch work first). Stored for about 2 years w/o running it at all. Must have missed getting the fuel out of the lines as it is acting like a filter is plugged, but that is not the case. Poured a bottle of FI cleaner in it and it is getting better, but most likely gonna take a few days to soak through. Fuel pump did not sound too good either on the first couple starts, but definitely pumping lots of fuel.

All's I got to say is "oops"

Nah. Darla has to go into a shop w/the right tools to get that damn transmission out, the primary powercoated and the viton seals stamped in, and I want to swap the tank grommets out w/the Sportster replacements so they can flush the whole thing if it stays gummed. So it was already expensive to get it reliable (All Hendersons need about $1400-2000 to fix the factory messes). It will run great afterwards. The Deadwood (Ebony) had them done b4 I bought it and it runs good, and will run better when I get the ECM tuner.
