Good new to hear that, Now if you need to borrow a repair manual, come down and pick up mine. I have one backup that I keep in the house by the PC, you can borrow that one.

Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: During Carb Sync Engine died...won't restart...Advice?
First I need to mention I am riding a 1300 so everything is different .
Now to my probably to long story .
I picked up this 1300 about 2 years ago and knew when I bought it it had a misfire on one cylinder .
put in new plugs and it ran ok for a couple hundred miles .Then it started fouling 2 cylinders (2 and 5) so I replaced the coil .
This ran good for most of the next summer then after a four day rain it started again only this time it would foul different plugs up to 4 or five not firing good .
I did have spark but it looked weak .
After replacing the igniter to no avail I was going to change the fuel pump
On the 1300 you have to remove one of the regulators to accomplish this .When I was unplugging the regulator the whole plug fell apart A quick inspection showed the wires had been shorting and melted the plug . Note that the bike always charged good but occasionally the battery would short out .
I put in three new batteries in two years .
The long story is that after I fixed the plug and replaced the regulator the bike started firing on all 6 cylinders and runs better everytime I ride ,including riding in the rain .
My point being that your troubles could be hiding in plain sight and may not necessarily be very obvious .
Please note that by the time I fixed this the plugs would cake with soot and I am sure the cylinders were not much better and this is clearing up more each ride along with greatly improved gas mileage .
I am once again smiling when I ride .
See you all in Nashville .
