Story of this bike...
Okay, so I pulled the petcock bowl and cleaned the filter. No traces of water.
But the filter was kind of grimy, so I cleaned it out.
After that, the dying at idle issues disappeared. I rode around for a while last night.
That being said, I'm quoting PJ for a reason ;D
I think the bike is grounding at the points plate. Or something involving the points plate. I was having trouble getting the bike started after a 10 minute ride. When I loosened the points plate, the RPM's jumped from 1k to 2.5k, and the bike started driving like a champ (after I readjusted idle). I put 45 minutes on it.
That's when Devil Bike kicked in again. She melted my turn signal relay. (the rubber band had broken and it was lying on the motor)
This also fried the wire connecting it, and luckily it was just the extension of the harness, so I can replace just that bit (I saved the ends)
After ripping the tank off under a streetlight (and getting gas EVERYWHERE in the meantime), I managed to limp home on 1 cylinder, while feathering the choke haha. Didn't get a chance to diagnose it, hope I didn't fry the right coil, but the right side pipes were (relatively) cold.
All in all a good night, I suppose, no tow trucks called. Got my work cut out for me next week though...
Not sure if I'm just an idiot or this bike is killing me haha
