Adam came over today (Loud_ET) helped him do the relay mod, small clutch adjustment, nice 550, a little more maintenance and it will be a go anywhere bike! Nice bike Adam! Was doing the same relay mod to the Tempter, and the RR replacement and stator re-wire. Anytime you need help, give me a shout, hope I didn't burn the burgers too badHere are some pics of the bikes, while we were doing some maintenance, then a quick ride over to Spencer Lake to test the work.

Although usally owners of a 78 or 79 will have picture show otherside just annoy all of us that miss our kickstarters.

Oldschool hooked me up with a live and in person coil relay mod....so easy when you can see it done (not just a diagram). Thanks Rich! It was an awesome afternoon comin down to meet you and your family.
So the relay mod was a success however On the 50 mile ride home I had 3 stall outs on the highway. Fuel starvation issue. At high speed it sucks the fuel dry and stalls. A combination of switching between on /prime and using the choke and twisting the throttle to try and encourage gas to get in the carbs and lots of cranking it would finally catch after 2-3 minutes.
Gonna test petcock, remove and clean it, re route new fuel line and make sure gas cap vent is working.
Other wise great afternoon and a perfect day for riding and wrenching.

Might as well start the carb dip and rebuild as well, can't ride it that way, nor sell it with any success running like that, if you need anything let me know, also, if you decide to keep the bike, I have those bars if you want them, even if you don't sell it right away, might make it more comfortable to ride in the meantime.

So went for an awesome ride today! Wish some you GSR guys coulda made it(I posted it on the GSR meeting place), oh well!
We took A nice ride around Addison county VT, started in Middlebury and went down 125 to 17 to 100 to 125 again back to the departure point, was a good 100 miles or so. I ended up putting about 200 on the old B-12, Loads of cool bikes for this was a Standard/Sport/ Sport tourer (or upright only) bike ride. Loads of fun! Great guys to meet! I was glad a group this big in VT finally got together for some responsible yet fast and fun ridding! Ended up being about 20 bikes! Now some of my favorite pics!
Here is part of the group on top of the App Gap (VT route 17). I wasn't the only one with a B-12
A ZX7-R and a Suzuki RF900R, love the variaty of bikes here today!
The line of them starting with A VFR750!
Fell in Love today! This little RZ350 two stroke was the highlight of the show... It was crazy quick for being a 350! well the guy made it into a 420!
Another Pick of the RZ!
Another Bike I wanted to take home with me! A 2011 Triumph Scrambler 900! What an awesome beautiful machine!
A true beauty! 04 Yammy FZ1 lol Got a kick out of the bullet hole stickers.
It was just an awesome day for it today!!! Next time I hope I can get some GSR faces!
Ride Safe!Jedz Moto

Maybe post in tech section and someone can describe how to check/repair the gas cap vent.
