So very close…<\/p>\n

First all the good…<\/p>\n

I got everything (and I mean everything) except the TACH input wired today. There is some question as to exactly what exactly constitutes the negative side of the coil. I will just have to try to crank it and see what I can see and hopefully find a suitable place to connect. Otherwise, I may have to hack out some other place to pick up a tach signal.<\/p>\n

I did not plan on replacing the stock fuse panel, but when I was attaching the main relay to the ignition fuse, the fuse clip broke. I started to fix that one, but another broke. Due to an ordering snafu when I was gathering parts for this project, I happened to already have a 2nd fuse block, so it was just a quick decision to replace it and an extra 30 minutes or so of crimping.<\/p>\n

I mounted an LED to the fast idle output. Without realizing it, I bought a blinking LED, which is probably better anyway. As long as it’s blinking, run the bike at fast idle. When the light goes out, take fast idle off.<\/p>\n

The big thing that was waiting was all the fuel system plumbing. 10 hose clamps, 2 tees, 1 adapter and 1 pressure gauge later, it was ready to pressure test. I connected a fuel supply and powered up the fuel pump. It took a little bit to prime the pump, but suddenly, it zipped up to 42 PSI. A bit of fuel leaked from the gauge fitting, but I forgot to tape the fitting first. I pulled it, taped it and fit it back. No leak.<\/p>\n

Well, not from there. Turns out, it was leaking from another spot that I didn’t see in the first run up. Leaking profusely from the plastic fitting around the power leads. It didn’t leak when I bench tested it a few months ago. I presume the pump was damaged in the intervening time, probably from bouncing around in the tool box. :\/<\/p>\n

Without the fuel pump leak, I would have been attempting to start the engine tonight. Bummer. Between that and the squadron of mosquitos, I called it for the night.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I will pull the fuel pump and see if anything can be done with it. If not, I will have to find another before I can continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
