Back again,

Thanks so much for all the information. I have the bike ready to lift up and go to work. I intend to adjust the valve clearance while I am doing all of the other. I found the step by step on the valve adjustment on the forum also. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing, I just love it. On the battery, I am going to go ahead and remove it to charge it, just because of all the gas fumes in the area. It is much better today, but was pretty stinky in there last evening. I think you are right on the fuel valve, it was in the wrong position and caused all this problem. I will check the vacuum line to make sure it is working properly. I sure appreciate all the help. I will monitor the forum, I am weak in some areas, but am a ham radio operator and do have some expertise in the area of electronics so I may be able to help someone and return the favor. Many thanks. CD
