Well, it was not any darker at 9:05pm than it was at 9:00 pm, so I went out and switched the fuel injectors from my perfectly running GL over to Billy Bones. Absolutely no difference.

I'm stumped. I believe that there is a short somewhere in the system. Many years ago I had an old Chevy that acted the same way. I eventually found a wire shorting out. And I don't think it is a coincidence that late today when I was getting out of Billy I noticed a small shock in my left hand as I put it on the door jamb to get out.

What do you think?

Enjoy your evening.

Warren Lail 88 Westy "Billy Bones" 87 GL "Long John"

p.s. Compression, based upon my Sears Actron compression tester is 125, 130, 130, and 135. Those numbers are with all of the plugs removed and with the throttle full open. These numbers seem a little low to me, but again, it's an inexpensive tester.
