Well, took it back to the Buffalo Harley Dealer an had the Clutch adjusted to my liking an told them to check the timing. You think the money I paid to do this job they be better at it. One, it fouled out when I first got it, an to my horror, when, I say TRIED at frist to take the rear spark plug out, who ever crank, got it so tight they had to take into the shop to get it out. Back to today, they found the timing was off, someone forgot to tighten the backing plate so it was loose. Not the end of the story, pulled away an 10 minutes latter had to come back to the shop for it ran even worse. They pulled it in an 20 minutes later said I had to leave it, for BOTH plugs where black. So, something with the carb an could be the float, or, since it was sitting so long, I wonder if it be a good idea to soak the carb in gas to clean it out. Glad it was running like crap near the shop rather some where for a ride in the jungle. LOL. Any comments welcomed. Tom Tomflorkowski@aol.com
