LOL, Funny Piper -
I had to laugh at this because I've been doing a lot of work on my BA getting ready for a long trip this summer and last weekend I setup my Morgan to synch the carbs. Took the rubber caps off and connected the Carbtune lines pressed the starter button and the bike would start run for about a second then die. After trying this about 10 times I finally took the Carbtune lines off and reinserted the rubber caps. I was starting to wonder if it was something I had done? The bike finally started and continued running but it was running really rough. It hadn't been running in over a month and it was only about 45 degrees in my garage so I thought maybe it just needed to warm up.
Errah, nope. I had unplugged the spark plug lead for the left cylinder when I was re-routing my throttle cables and had forgotten to plug it back in. All in all it didn't run bad on 1 cylinder. Like you said "someone kick me".

I have a hat in my garage that someone gave me as a gag gift with a picture of Moe from the 3 Stooges on the front of it. On the back in big letters it says "MOE". Whenever I do something stupid like this I make myself wear "the Moe" for a few hours to remind me I'm not as smart as I think I am.
