No More Miss

With the help of the other guys on the BMW K bike forum I was able to sort out the problem that was causing the missing in the engine of my 1988 K100.It was a frustrating couple days but also a good couple days getting to know the inner workings of this fuel injection system.I came across some great people from around the world who helped me make sense out of it and yesterday I figured it out.It was a combination of problems,corrosion on an electrical connection on the throttle stop switch and leaky vacuum lines letting air into the system.I was able to get it running pretty well and ended going out riding on her for the afternoon doing around 60 miles with no real problems .I stopped by the auto parts store to show off my new girlfriend to a friend who works there. He has been riding as long as I have and works on BMW's .  I could have had him fix it but if I did that I never would have learned anything  and like when I first got my Moto Guzzi I needed to learn everything about it before I could travel on it so I could deal with anything on the road by myself. He has a tire machine and a lift so he told me to bring it by when I'm ready to mount new tires and I can use his equipment .There are always issues with a bike when it's first brought back to life after decades of sitting.Usually it takes me a few hundred miles to work thru them so this one was actually better than most.I had her going pretty good in around 175 miles. So,now I keep running her locally on dry road until I can get enough money together to buy new rubber and steel braided brake lines.I already own the rebuild kit for the front master cylinder and did the rear master  right up front because it wasn't functional at all when I first got this bike. It was lucky that it was frozen with the brakes in a movable position so it could be rolled around but the brake pedal was frozen solid. I've come a long way with this motorcycle since that day in early November 2014 when my friend Tony dropped it off.
