Thanks.
Today proved to be a how bad can I mess things up kind of day. I started out with going to install the steering bearings. I measure the stack height of the old next to the new and decide that the stock very thin washer/spacer is the one to use. Get everything installed and slide the lower triple through the neck. When I just hand tighten the nut I can barely move the triple. It is hitting against the neck. Damn it, I will have to remove the lower bearing which will 99.9% surely destroy it. Well it aint budging one bit. I end up having to cut two slots in it and then use a cold chisel to gently caress it out. Fine, I will just have to order a new one.
Onto some wiring I guess. I get the electronic ignition installed on the engine and proceed to start wiring it up. Crimp on the pins and give them a little tug to make sure they are tight. Good to go. I go to slide them into their connectors. Once they pop through I pull them back a bit to lock to lock them in place and a wire pops out. Finagle the pin out of the connector and crimp on a new pin. This time I cinch down the crimp tool a bit. Go to install the other side of the connector and the same shit happens...a wire pops out.
I threw in the towel. The electronics store is closed today so I will have to wait until tomorrow until I can get a new connector and pins. Add to that number of screws, bolts, and a new carb clamp that have come up missing over the past two days I am getting very frustrated. Now would be the perfect time for a beer, but I am abstaining for a month.
