I can remember my dad driving exuberantly (high RPM with a Flat Head V8) then he would look at me and explain, "Sometimes we need to blow the carbon out!"

I get it!

It's fun, it's the way I like ride when I can!

And just like that…
…thoughts of a Goldwing should be out of your head!

Glad you’ve got the Glide back and are letting it rip!

The Work Resolution following the Diagnostics from the Manual would certainly be expected!

However, testing the Resistance between connectors seems like it would be a tedious task to chase down a bad connection but it's what needed to be done!
