The uphill, across the Yellowstone bridge run.
Starting speed at the bottom of the hill was 30 GPS MPH, throttle wide open, there was a bit of a head wind at about eight to ten MPH and got to the other end of the bridge traveling about 22 MPH.
Pulled into the parking area and shut down the engine, pulled the sparking plug for the inspection.

The color isnt too bad but the main jet needle is screwed almost all of the way in.
After installing the plug, hooking the plug wire back to the plug, the engine would not start.
A little throttle, no go.
Tried some choke, no go, 1/2 choke, no go, more full choke with some throttle, no go, no choke and wide open throttle and still not even a pop.
Pushed the bike out onto the highway 59 North but I was south bound. One car at the top of the hill coming My way, maybe a mile away.
Coasted to the bottom of the hill to My turn off, pulled in the clutch after making the corner, into second gear, popped the clutch, engine turned over maybe a dozen times then popped off. Rode it the one more block home and parked it in the yard.
Not sure what was up, why it would not start. It didnt seem to have the compression like it should, shoved through mighty easy like. Maybe over heated some ? ? ? ?
