Well, Denny informed me Saturday night that my bike was only hitting on 3 cylinders. I said no way, just run the he** out of it, it'll be ok. Today I take it to the shop to pump out the old gas and what do you know, it's only running on 3! It's currently apart and awaiting new spark plugs. If this don't fix it-----------------------Off to Willis Racing we go!!!!

I think fresh gas and plugs should cure it. Why did you leave gas in it all winter? I drained the gas out of my old heap back in november, but that was because I had the carbs off to change jets, and the tank off for paint.  Your bike seemed to run fine down the track, but would miss coming up the return road while holding the throttle at about 3 grand. As soon as you gassed it hard, it would clean up and go!  I wish my bike had some power  |

He leaves the gas in because you never know when he might want to go fo a ride.  |

I think I saw two old yamahas running saturday and both were running fine. I guess they weren't intimidated by them busas. The real reason he didn't change the gas is because he was too busy waxing it.

Now that all of the tomfoolery is out of the way, I finally had some time to work on the bike. The results are in, #3 cylinder had a bad spark plug. So, I checked my racing budget and it's only getting 1 spark plug.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
After a new set it runs great. I took a ride to Willis Racings world headquarters and had Charles look at it. It has his seal of approval. Denny is good to go.
