Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes it rains:
Neither 200 budged today-I will refill with ATF tomorrow and let it soak for a week or so.
I installed a spare battery on Dean Martin today and guess what?
The neutral light works!
I hot wired the key ignition and totally unplugged the left side kill switch and crossed the solenoid and it turned over like a dream.
I checked for fire at the spark plug and had a beautiful blue arc so I sprayed some starter fluid in the air box and crossed the solenoid again and again she turned over like a dream....hmmm
I checked the compression and got this
Not too good. Then I remembered a bike MrC had that had very little compression and he did a few things to it and it gained compression...I just didn't remember what all he did. I'll read up on that and check the valves tomorrow.
I then sprayed pb blaster down the plug hold and starter fluid down the gas line hose and air box and crossed the solenoid again and....It almost popped but not quite. It's going to start-just as sure as the sun is going to shine tomorrow,
I cleaned and lubed the left hand control switch. the buttons were frozen and I them all back moving and reinstalled it. With the key ignition hot wired, I hit the starter button and the solenoid clicked one time. hit it again and again-one click. Bad solenoid?
Tomorrow will bring something new-no doubt.
Thanks for all the tips and input. More on Sammy Davis later.
