Odds and ends on the Imp

We've been mostly picking at this, but making progress.

Shortened and cleaned up the spark plug wires.




Fresh battery.



Trying to figure out how to make the three phase alternator work with a regulator/rectifier from a late model Vulcan. This will let us mount one unit instead of the two piece regulator/rectifier that was stock on the 750.



hhhhmmm....



The wire colors from 1500 Vulcan manual don't match.



But the 800 manual shows the colors we have in hand.



So the three yellows from the 750 go to the three blacks.

A 750 green wire(ground) goes to the black/white.

750 black(key-on) goes to black/red.

The black/blue from our rectifier goes straight to the battery positive.


Time fix this over flowing carb.



Float needle and seat are okay, but not great.



The float tab is way different than the good carb. So we adjusted it to match. We didn't pull the carb and properly set the height, so hopefully we're close.



New throttle cable.



New throttle sleeve.



This broken screw is stuck. So we soaked in WD-40.



Bierkan want to swap the sprocket back to stock. I forget the teeth counts one these, I think 38 and 45 or so.
