Went to autozone and got the battery charged today. I dont have a real charger, just the tender. They said the battery was a little weak, but it should be fine for this summer...
As per the VFR forum, they wanted to make sure nothing was locked up. I've always jumped bikes in 2nd gear, but they said the compression on these bikes makes it tough to jump in that low of a gear. So I did a couple passes down my driveway hill in 4th and 5th, and the wheel finally started spinning the engine over on the 2nd pass. So nothing is really locked up. I emptied the tank (as per you all) and am starting a fresh go through of the petcock to make sure there is no grime in the filter. I am also going to do a quick mod that eliminates the need for the vacuum hose on the tank. Since my bike has no fuel pump and is gravity fed, I am cutting a bigger hole in the rubber diaphram thingy in the petcock, and then plugging the vacuum hose outlet. Then I will go get some fresh premium tomorrow morning. What would you recommend 91 or 93? Does it matter???
Then on to derf's carb school.... with... Sobe bottles?
