The legendary "Yellow Horse" lives again!!!  :shocked: :rolleyes: :thumb: :cool:

* Replaced a leaky fuel line with JEGS Stainless Steel braided fuel line and fuel petcock (Thanks MG Cycle!)
* Cleaned both throttle bodies - they were quite nappy!!
* Lubed the enricher cable
* Changed the fuel filter
* Reset the trim-pot to "LEAN"
* Pulled & cleaned the spark plugs - they looked fine
It ran strong for a 30+ mile shake down ride on Beaver Head Flat Road...
Cranked it to 85-95-and over the ton...no issues...spun up like a fast top! Ran strong and smooth 😎😉
No leaks...no gas on the garage floor!!..."Dry as the Arizona desert in August!!" - - happiness!😃👍

Will let you know about the MPG on the next tank full....I am OK now with 30-32 MPG in town and 35-38 MPG on the highway....if that's the best it will ever get - -  no big deal...it runs GREAT! :thumb: :cool: :smiley:

Another 50+ mile "shakedown ride" this afternoon on the poor ol' Yellow Horse since fixing the two gas leaks and all the other maintenance / servicing issues...  No leaks...No issues...ran like a banshee today...and I cranked on it a bit! :thumb: :cool: :wink: :smiley:

*** HAPPINESS! *** Also, blue skies, sunny and 70 degree temperatures helped!!  A beautiful fall day for Nov. 8th here in Vortex-Land (northern Arizona) :thumb: :cool:
