Okay, had the time today and got her going.
I can't say for sure, because I had to swap out the battery cause I ran it down, but I feel it was the fuel.
Different battery and she started up after 2/10-15 second hits on the starter.
A combination of not enough gas in the tank, not switching it to reserve right off and 17 hours of bouncing around on the Interstate must of cleaned all the gas out of the carbs somehow.
No gas in the carbs when I first tried to start, then running the battery to low to start.
Actually it was longer, the trip from FL to GA was 7 hrs, then 3 days sitting on the trailer in GA, then 17 hrs to MA. You think she was pissed
at me? I would have been.
First time this happened. I've trailed her to GA from MA before, twice, trailed to FL from GA once and from GA to MA once without any starting issues.
Just glad she's running again, not that we're gonna have the weather to ride her for a while, but glad anyways.
17 hrs? You could've put 1000 miles on her......
I put over 2.5K on her in Feb in both FL & GA,TN,NC but couldn't get all the stuff I needed to bring with me, on her. Heck, I almost didn't have enough room in my 1 ton, 4 door pick-up, including the tool box and 8' bed.
I have no problem trailering my bike to go south. I love riding, but I ain't sitting on her for 17 hours just to say I can. Much more comfortable in the truck, plus I always get a couple of audio books which makes the time fly and keeps me awake.
On the bike at 70-75mpg, I'm gonna get maybe 30mpg. That's a stop every 120 miles or so or about 8 stops for 1K miles. I can do 1K miles with just 2 stops in the truck.
