postman rings twice...
got the shirt... not the heads...
32 years old and worn out...
strange, it fits, with no filing or cutting...
safe kickstand at last...
and finally... the postman rings three times this week...
I have spent a lot of money on plugs over the past year in the vain hope that it will resolve the bitches crappy starting.
NGK's (an old favourite), HD Brand (She seems to like these, made by champion) Champion's (not used these much as it would not start at the time) NGK Iridiums (liked these, seem to use less gas) Accel's (not had much use, would not start in Jan this year)
I put in the big intermediate jet (29.5) for the super E, hoping that the bitch would not only fire on the fourth kick cold as usual but also keep running!
Last week she would not start at all, just the odd pop.
Off with the pushrod covers and re-did the pushrod adjustment - they were spot on.
I changed the plugs from my reliable? HD Brand to the NGK iridiums.
Finally she starts and we go for a ride, stop three times and three non starts later, just a cough out of the carb, without using choke.
So grabbing at straws, I go on www. Shovelhead.US, the consensus seems that those who 'know' use Bosch platinums.
So here they are and its snowing...
