4th mentor meeting 3/11/13

I felt guilty walking into see my mentor this time. I felt like I did not do enough to progress my project in the time that we have not seen each other. All I've done was some simple diagnostic tests with the bike. I explained that the left cylinder is not igniting, (could be the coil), the fuel talk is disgusting because there has been stagnant gas trapped in there for years, the carburetor may need cleaning, and the cylinders need to be timed correctly.
From here, Mr. Tompson and I discussed my next steps, I needed to...

  • Check belts for corrosion (order new one if needed)
  • Find ignition coil (the one I've had for a while and don't know if it will work on this bike)
  • Clean fuel tank with BB's and anti corrosive spray
  • print service manual
  • look for  a foam air filter
