I tested the coils and one of them is bad. I'm going to go ahead and replace both along with new wires and spark plugs.

Hey guys, I know it's been a while but work has been crazy the last couple months. Bike is still not running believe it or not. It starts but it revs itself. Usually idles fine and all of a sudden it will just start climbing. Also, if I gov it gas it just sticks and will not come down unless i...

Well thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look at that. I looked at the main jet and it was really clean so the issue wasn't there. Carbs look fine. I have an exhaust leak so I will fix that next and see what it does. Yesterday I finished the body work on the seat and I painted it. I also got...

Bike is driving me nuts. It idles fine with choke. Once it warms up and I take the choice off it dies and if I get it to go on without the choke it will all of a sudden start revving to 5k. I bought new boots thinking it was a vacuum leak but now I'm thinking it's either the main jet being dirty...

Finally finished the body work on the seat. Will paint it no later than this weekend so I'll be posting the pictures.

Thank you! Waiting on my next pay check so I can keep working on it.

It's running!

he was one of the guys that bailed on me because he was busy so I know he's had a lot of work in the past couple weeks. But it's true that I sort of didn't have any other choice. I like the story though, haha very cool way to look at it.

Good news! Mechanic is coming to pick it up today! thank god, I called about 10 shops and he was the only one who was able to help me out. Hopefully he gets it running soon 8)

ok thanks for clearing that up guys. I think I can do that myself then. I just want a mechanic so I can get this thing running because I've tried everything possible to MY knowledge. Still haven't heard from the guy so I'm in search of a new mechanic still

I haven't been able to get a hold of the mechanic so I guess this weekend will be me giving it another shot. Not sure what's going on with the bike but I'll check the electricals and probably call dynojet to see if I did the rejetting correctly. Good thing it's going to rain all weekend. That...

that's awesome! I got mine within an hour of the guy posting it on craigslist. I went over there, looked around, drove it and just handed the cash. I had a 2001 saab 93 and some guy offered me more than what I bought it for so I handed the keys over. Spent 3 weeks without a car waiting for...

I actually got it in the fall and I've been so into the bike that I haven't looked up anything for the car. Which supercharger?

unfortunately it's not an m3 it's a 325Ci 65,000 miles, manual transmission.

Talked to the mechanic and he said he will call me early next week to arrange a pick up date. Soooo I decided it was a good time to clean the shop and tools (don't sand bondo inside, terrible idea). Maybe I'll start turning some wrenches on the E46 this weekend. I haven't touched it since I got...
