Yeah, poorly made aftermarket filter. The inlet of the Mikuni is 43mm and this filter was a stretch fit. After that it necks down to probable 25-30mm causing a huge restriction. New filter on the way.

Yes i mean air filter

Little update here. I have 100 miles on the bike and ive learned a ton. 1. Nut and bolt check sooner than later. I found some loose ones including the front axel. 2. Chinese ebay look alike carbs suck in my experience. I jetted and messed with settings an unbelievable amount until i said screw...

Mine was in similar shape and is running fine. I couldnt find anything for mitsubishi either so i went with the original.

Thanks guys. I really think its timing related. Im at like 17-18 thou at tdc but thats what it ends up at when i aim for opening at the F mark. Ill adjust and try again. And polish out the blueing. Yeah new chain, and good valve adjustment.

2 feet of snow here in NJ. I added a headlight visor and i love it, my only modification and im sticking to that, i hope. My dads ‘73 sportster has one therefor ive always thought they were cool. Is the pipe abnormally blued? I thought so, so i went from a 58 jet to a 65 on the leanest needle...

I really appreciate all the advide and compliments guys. Got the bike fired up tonight for the first time, now the final push! Glad i didnt unwind the coils like an idiot. Turns out i didnt have the battery harness which has the ignition loop in it. Connected it with a paper clip and got a...

Thank you, that was easy!

Does anyone have a K0 4 pin battery harness with fuse? Cant seem to find it online and feel like someone has it laying around.

Thanks for the help guys. I either have no issue At all or a bad condensor. I say that because i see a strong spark between the points. We will see when its all together.
