I got my carb. rebuilt which fixed my motor problems. My motor sound great. Rough idle, deep throaty sound and gets wild quick with just a little throttle. I got thinking about why my ignition kept shutting off when I turned it to the "On" position. Cuz I also noticed my add-on tach wasn't working. Most people said I wired the painless system wrong, but it turned out i forgot to put the ground strap back on the cab, so nothing would work. To test it i used a pair of jumper cables to ground my cab and my switch instantly started workin. Not only am I excited about how mean my motor sounds, but my wiring really works!
