    Decided to adjust the modulator today to see if I could get it to shift later. Dropped it off the jackstands to take it for a spin and the starter wouldn't disengage. Could not shut it off. Stuffed a rag in the carb and it still kept going, had to grab a 1/2" wrench and yank the battery cable off. Not sure wether it is the new starter or the ignition switch that I had a problem with Friday.:mad:

    After the latest problem. I found out the starter wasn't new. Almost everything on the engine is new. So, now it has a new starter too.:)
