More fixes

Last time on Ratchets Rantings I posted that I had fixed the petcock issues.. Well, I didn't. I thought I had, but 2 days later I ran the bike and it still leaked. So, I recently bought a K&N Petcock rebuild kit from J&P Cycles, and installed that tonight. NOW IT'S FIXED FOR SURE. Also, last week I was gonna run to town for lunch, got to the stop sign and the throttle cable broke right at the throttle. So, I had to pull the cable by hand to get back to work. Ordered the cable from Z1 Enterprises and got it in just a few days. Put that on tonight, rebuilt the petcock, Put the Stator in that I got last week also.. Yeah, it charges on it's own. So I took it out for a ride tonight.. Then the Headlight went out... On the highway nonetheless. Flashers were bright enough to get me back to the shop where I discovered a blown fuse. Replaced that so we'll see how long that lasts... I don't have a Multi Meter to use right now so I'll have to wait til I see my neighbor tomorrow to use his and see if I'm putting out too much juice or if it was just that old of a fuse. Thanks for reading and I'm gonna get some good riding time in tomorrow to help wash away some of this bad week that I've had. Don't want to get into that right now... I'm too pumped about riding again... More photos coming soon.
