You're right Chris, that's exactly what any rational adult would do. However, I like to make bad decisions once in a while. When I swapped out my petcock for a universal one (good decision), I no longer needed the vacuum lines so I put rubber caps on the vacuum ports on the carb boots. Well...

In the 4+ years I have been riding this bike, I have never had it running properly, until now. It finally runs the way it should and it is almost like getting a new bike. It's exciting all over again. I thought I'd share in case it benefits someone else. The initial problem was that I...

Saw this little beauty at the Lowbrow swapmeet

Looking great man!

Here's the video

Thanks Chris

Wow, I can't believe I haven't updated since last summer. The ride went great last year. I have a 1,000 mile ride planned this year. This will be the farthest I have ever ridden this bike in one shot. I think the only changes I have made since last summer are: o-ring chain, new rear...

Me too. Looks good.

Looks good! You've made much faster work of it than I have.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the bike. I've started with worse. Riding the bike isn't the only fun part. I enjoy the process of rebuilding them and it sounds like you do too. Good luck with it and welcome to the forum.

You can always push start it man, haha. Glad to see you got it back together so quickly.

Hey Drewpy. I saw a pic of your bike from the Roughley's Toy Run on the Church of Choppers blog. Very cool. www.ChurchOfChoppers.blogspot.com

Yeah man. I'm in Columbus too. Would be cool to meet up and ride. Or get together and use Aaron's frame jig ;)

This jig kit has been on my wishlist for a year and a half now, haha. It's only a matter of time . . . and money. Glad to see you've got the website up and running. Added to favorites.

I have the ability to make the stencils for airbrushing, unfortunately I do not do the airbrushing myself. Sorry.

Thanks for all the input guys! Yep, checked the fuses then started testing for voltage at the coils and worked back. It turns out to be the key switch. 99 times out of 100 the only thing that was getting power was the taillights, but just that one time I turned the key and everything...

I have a three day ride coming up in a week (Run 4 Your Life) and I still haven't been able to start the bike this season. The bike ran fine when I parked it two seasons ago. I cleaned out the fuel system and rebuilt the carbs. But now the bike won't start. For some reason I no longer have...

Thanks a lot man.

Still have a lot to do, but I finally finished the wheels and tires. These Firestones are so huge compared to the old tires. The chain barely clears the rear tire. Looks like I will need bigger rear shocks as well.

Hell yeah man. Glad you went with a single tube backbone. Father-son builds are always awesome to see.
