Well the Drama continues, I got the carbs balanced and it ran like a dream for a day pulling a lot harder than it had done with the A I and airbox in place, now with the K&Ns and the main jets upped a couple and two shims on the needles, the carbs balanced new fuel ect i thought my troubles would be over even though the bike was to be booked in to a rolling road tuners as soon as the Mechanic gets back from his hollidays.
Alas the following day when i had arranged to go for a ride out the Bliddy Trumpet decided to run like a bag of toe cheese again so its wait and get it to the tuners and hopefully they can file drill and tune the thing back to life again , i hope so as i am begining to question the 13 years i waited to replace the trumpet i had lost ( a 1967 Datona)all those years ago , and the years i dreamed about such a bike as the Speedmaster hitting the world , when i saw it i had to have one so i am quite gutted as you can probobly gather.
But their is a new spark growing in my new appreciation of all things Harley and i guess my head is being turned slowly away from the patriotism of owning a Brittish motorcycle, we will see , and when i get the Trumpet running and reliable i will post exactly what i have had done to make it work before i trade it in.
On the Cush drive i realy noticed the difference with the new drive in place in the 50 or so miles i have done on it since replacing it, realy showed me how bad they had worn.
Maybee after all said and done a reliable running Trumpet will give me new pride and stop me trading it in.
