Well today was a great day......
Spyug came over to help out, and brought over his IV bottle, his battery, some jumper cables, and his vast years of knowledge.....
I supplied the beer, pizza, some years of knowledge, and a couple of dead FZ's.....
After a few hours of this and that, removing the plugs, spraying gas down the carbs, using quick start, some swearing and cursing......
the one bike roared to life....it was a joyous occasion, which was promptly celebrated with a few beers, some Slivovica, and a few Cuban cigars....
One bike is up and running, and not bad for sitting for almost a year, spent the winter outside under a tarp, she started up and ran just fine...
The second bike we could not get started, and you will see in the last picture more or less why, we almost had her going, and we did hear a slight rumble, but no long term running.....
Well time to tear down the first bike, and start the rebuild, now it's worth it as I do know I have a running bike....
Let the games begin....
here are a few pictures and some video....
Hope you enjoy....
these are videos, so click on each one and watch if you wish...
Almost.....running
Running......wooooohoooooooo
This is what happens, when a bike sits outside for a year, this filter is on the 2nd bike, no wonder we were not able to get it started....even though we removed it bike still would not start.....
