[evilone]

We keep writing at the same time . Glad it started even though kicker is not working. I know it does since that's the only way i could start my 87, you'll figure it out sooner or later

good job! im excited for you. now just get it runnin good! its fun to take something that doesnt run and fix it. when i fixed the spree i bought from a non run condition that was more fun than moding my elite.

I know I will but I won't complain about success. I fired and that tells me this is worth the time/trouble/money

[martynkim]

Thanks aerorob, I appreciate ur help too. this thing is gonna rock when I get er done like my spree.

[martynkim]

It was running like a pig though. Might be the lack of air cleaner or just sitting forever. BTW did I tell you guys the clock only says 677 miles????

[aerorob]

thats a sweet score with that mileage. im sure if you put an air cleaner in it will run a little closer to normal. nothing has been done to modify it correct? if you havent already, just set the air/fuel screw to its factory setting and put a fresh filter in it and if the carb is clean it should run like new.

[martynkim]

I need to buy an air cleaner but the carb is clean and I have to look up factroy setting for it but I think I'm gonna give er another try now I should have a charge now.

[martynkim]

no modifications

[aerorob]

no modifications is good. the person who was doin the modifying could be clueless.

[martynkim]

I got it to run for about 5 or more min needs an air cleaner on it bad it just chokes out BUT IT WILL RUN!!!

[aerorob]

sweet! i woulnt run it a ton with the air cleaner absent because it will be running leaner than usual. i bet it runs awesome with a filter.

[evilone]

And i have one

[martynkim]

I have one too just needs a new element

[aerorob]

get a filter yet?

[martynkim]
