you need to check all the basics, compression, timing (valve and ignition). you may have to play around with the pilot adjustment on the carb yellow in the diagram you'll have to excuse me, i got man flu!!

on the side stand oil pisses out, on the main stand it stays in!

how does santa like his pizza's? deep and crisp and even why does santa have 3 gardens? so he can hoe, hoe, hoe! When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that mother in law was coming to visit.This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the booze, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great bigb Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?" And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

main stand or side stand?

woo, go man goooooo!!!!

get a multimeter, set it to DC volts and touch the outlets to the recitfier. if its dead try reversing it then it should show a reading. note the + or - , that is the direction of the electricity. compare it to the diagram.

it does matter which way the rectifier is wired. they are basically a series of "one way" valves" for electricity. hopefully you won't have fried something with juice going the wrong way! there's a bit on xs400 wiring here

wow, you waste no time. putting my tracker project to shame now

the annual crimbo joke thread just starting. get posting peeps The Crist family worked at a zoo. Each year they predicted the general luck and overall mood of the year by watching the the gnu. If the gnu's ears were forward, that meant a successful, joyous year was almost certain to happen. But if his ears were laid back flat against his head, it meant that an unlucky or very unhappy year was sure to come. One year it was young Mary's turn to "survey" the animal and come up with the prediction. It was her first time solo, and in her excitement, she forgot to take the key to the cage. She was late in coming to check on the gnu. Well, she saw the wrong ear position and predicted a bad year, when in fact it was quite good. To explain the error, the local newspaper ran the following headline a year later: MARY CRIST MISSES AN HAPPY GNU'S EAR!
