Hi,
Well it's been a while but the bike is running like new! I fought this back firing and hard starting what seemed like forever! I was in the garage and just sitting there running everything back through my mind, when my wife came in and wanted to know what was wrong,(she knows little to nothing about these things) I told her I was trying to figure why the bike would not run right...so out of the blue she says I think it's bad gas! Like she Knows! Yes you guessed it she was right! I removed the tank and drained the gas into some glass jars so I could see it anything was there besides gas. There was something in the bottom of each jar very dark in color (not water) I still do not know what it was, but I cleaned the tank the best I could and put it back on the bike added new fresh gas and drained the carbs of the old gas and when it cranked over a few time it fired and sounded great! Now I have to live with a wife that has to tell everyone!
Just thought you all might want to know.
Thanks to all of you and my wife it runs!
