Good morning Idaho!

 

good morning all..its nice and sunny here today!!!

 

Howdy Micah!

Got the new bars on the RoadGlide:

 

nice rob.. yeah they do look just a little bit longer and reclined back a bit..

 

rob did you see this?

 

Darn, my truck looks really orange in those photos. Must be the combo of the sun and camera flash.

Yeah Micah, I saw that... When my old F250 I had in Montana did that, it turned out the timing had jumped. The gears and chain were shot. It was strange since it ran fine the day before, but when I went to start it the next day, it cranked normal a couple times, then slowed down and backfired through the carb.

 

hmmm maybe i will give that a try on thursday...he will be parked until then...cant afford anything right now

 

I wasn't 100% sure on my old beast because it needed a new carb too. Went ahead and replaced that, and it became really evident it was timing. It was just weird that the truck ran fine when I parked it, then wouldn't start the next morning.

That truck had a 400 with about 170,000 miles on it... I guess the timing chain and gears were just a tad worn, lol.

 

well supposedly this motor has been rebuilt in the last couple years.. hard telling if they had replaced everything or not

 

In that case, hopefully it's as simple as a battery...

 

maybe so...i will hook it up to the car charger and see if it will start but i still have no oil lol

 

When was the last time you checked the oil before it wouldn't start? I'm always forgetting to check the oil in mine. It's got several leaks: oil pan gasket, valve covers, rear main...

 

i had checked it either monday or wed cant remember now but it was like a half a quart low.. its not on the dipstick now

 

Good early morning Idaho..

 

Morning Idaho! Have a great Tuesday!
