Re: Anyone familiar with fiddy's?
You guys sure are knowlegable....I wish I had the mechanical aptitude on this one for the more in depth diagnosing...descriptions are awesome, but without having my lappy right next to me, I don't think I could remember what all to do! I'll probably try printing the page since my lappy's battery, or...

Re: Anyone familiar with fiddy's?
If you've tried 20x to start - especially if this is a stroker - pull the plug back out to check you haven't fouled it. Is the plug cap on the plug? Is the plug cap firmly attached to the wire? Is the kill switch on? Is the mix ratio correct? Is this a recoil start, or kick start? If it uses a clut...

Anyone familiar with fiddy's?
I just went through and cleaned the realitivley new spark plug, air filter/screen, & cleaned the carb (other then the actual jet because I'm really not sure what is safe to put through the tiny thing, I had sprayed cleaner through it the best I could though...) I did all of this because when I got i...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Don, yeah he's practically riding his own these days!
I had my casings chromed back in 2007, it stinks that the PO dropped it and put some nice dings in the peanut cover though!

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
It's nice to be back KC, I just wish it weren't like a ghost town now! Posting pics is a process for me still-I'm used to only posting to Facebook! Here is a pic of my bike these days-even though THIS pic was taken about 6 months ago....I took pics yesterday, but I'm trying to get them uploaded to P...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Whoops, I thought you had done the conversion...I must already be used to seeing the goofy, extremely tall tire the PO put on mine...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
I returned to the bike yesterday and took out every SP, checked gap (30), none were burnt, white, or wet. I still ran a wire brush over each one just to do it and re-installed them. The only thing I could find with any of the ignition was #3's plug wire boot was missing a small chunk (no plug was ex...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Alrighty! Battery is 100%, and I have the right V's everywhere that I need it....BUT she's still a Twin-cylinder. #1 and #3 are good, #2 and #4 are cold. Now what? Oh yeah, when I went to O'reilys, they do not carry the Autolite 4330's.....only NGK's but I do not want to spend $8 a plug when the plu...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Yeah, after I thought about it, I realized that you can jump start the bike's battery, but not charge it (with a car's battery)....that was definately a blonde moment on my part! I actually filled the new replacement battery at the store, and left it at the store, so they could plug it into the char...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Ok, so absolutely nothing this morning. I pulled the battery out, and found a cell completely empty!? After a minute of WTF...I decided to take it back to O'rielys. They are getting another new one brought to the store here in town (I live in the middle of no where-with low inventory). In the meanti...

Re: The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Thanks for the reply... Yes, she was running perfectly when I bought her back...other than the battery gradually getting weaker. I connected the car to the bike overnight (Of course without the car running, lol!). I haven't gotten out there this morning yet since I have a toddler that occupies 99% o...

The 'Babe is back...with problems!
Anyone remember Fizzerbabe? Yeah, well the 'ol board didn;t recognize any info of mine so I had to re-register! I sold my Fizz after I went into the AF back in 2008, 6 months ago, I re-bought it...actually from the guy I sold it to, LOL! She's all mine again...but had gotten new fork seals, new tire...
