Passed the stress test and back home.
![]() Now that we know what it wasn't, we need to find out what it was. Massive indigestion, stress, and/or a small ulcer are topping the list. So, appointment with our primary care doc later this week.

That is good news, indeed. Moving forward, good luck with the diagnosis.

Mrs. C took the day off and relaxed. I went to work and did the same. She has an appointment with our doc next Tuesday. So, we'll know more then.
I finished the installation of the VR tonight. I are impressed. Where I was floating between 13.1-14.3 last week, now it is 14.2-14.5. Much steadier. Also, my cooling fan is the largest draw on the system. I'd see an output of 12.8 with the old VR when the fan came on. Now it's a much better 13.8. I only took two pics. I didn't realize that I'd be modifying the mounting bracket several times so no before and after. Just after. ![]() This last pic is of the VR in the bracket. We left for the ER soon after this. ![]()

Sounds like it was worth the cash. That's a nice, stable voltage.

Stable is good. The variation in the voltage is from the handlebar mounted voltmeter. It's cheap and either super sensitive or crappy. I take it as a guideline.
My big dollar DVOM shows the voltage as rock steady at 14.2 at an idle. Last week I was hard pressed to hit 13.8. Maybe I was just in time before the original went heaven.

Thanks, Spud.
Got in a cold 75 mile ride today. All is well.

Glad to hear that.
Please tell us what happens after Mrs. C's Dr appointment on Tuesday. I hope that goes well.

Late post here on two fronts.
![]() She is elated. ![]() Onto the other front. After dang near six months, plus a new stator, plugs, coils, plug caps, wires, carb rebuilds and several hundred bucks, I have, absotivley and posilutley, plus without a doubt, solved the mis-fire on acceleration. There was a crack in the right carb boot. The crack was totally invisible while working in the garage, but outside with the sun over my shoulder, Stevie Wonder could have seen it. I threw on another set I had and couldn't make the bike miss, even at WOT. Oh, well. At least I have a new electrical system. ![]() I'm not thrilled with the other set boots, they are hard as rocks. I'm going to try the RTV/heatshrink hack on the old ones that are still somewhat supple.

I've very happy Mrs. Cheesy got a clean bill of health.
![]() I'm also glad you solved the problem of the carburetor boot. ![]()

X2! Thanks for following up on that with us, Cheesy.
Are new boots available?

New repops are available for $35US from David Silver Spares.
http://www.davidsilverspares.com/gra...000P_large.jpg The sloppy application of sealant has kind of soured me on them, though. My 3" heat shrink showed today, so I will give the hack a shot later this week.
