We have spark! Turns out that it was the starter, switched em out but only turns over now when jumping solenoid. I don't think it's a bad solenoid,there is no audible sound like you hear when it's a junk solenoid. It still has the one short one long beep so I think the dess post or key needs to be reprogrammed (doubt the key is bad) or mpem is toast? I hope not. Oh well, still made some progress!
Threw some premix in the fuel tank and some oil in the oil tank ( I didn't bypass ) and also a squirt of oil down each carb (id rather foul a plug then no oil lol ) and tried to get her to purr. Didn't look like any oil was pushing through the lines from the oil pump to the carb manifold while holding throttle wide open.
Baby woke up so had to come back in, but I'm getting close fellas!

You know....life really gets in the way sometimes lol. I haven't been able to work on them in weeks, my lower back and sciatic nerve have been worse than ever, have been having a lot of physical therapy and doctor appointments to try and get it to a reasonable pain but no go so far. Bad back, kid growing up before my eyes, sick wife, work stuff....man I'm not short on excuses at least.
Took advantage of the WCSS black friday deals, ordered both seat covers, traction mats, and some nice grips for under $200 today.
I may try and pop a few muscle relaxers and get out there for a bit today. I wanna get my hands dirty so bad, withdrawals are kicking in hard. Doesn't help that I'll be deploying again in 5 months, so don't really have motivation to get them done for the summer season.

So yeah I don't really know what I did but she's turning over now haha. I decided to change out the dess post with the one from the 98 to see if that worked and it was a no joy.
So frustratingly I rechecked all my connections, weather paks, and plugged in my previously unplugged oil tank, wiping them down and re-greasing them...and got 2 beeps and she turned right on over.
Must've been a short because of the oil tank sensor? Or just needed some old grease wiped off the terminals (but id tried that before).....whatever it was, both posts work now.
Next problem, my oil lines from pump to rv manifold aren't priming, even after holding her wide open

I just did. Wasn't pulling in fuel either?
Poured some premix down the plugs and carbs and she cranked right up and sounded beautiful. Died after a couple revs, pulled the fuel hose and it looked dry. I'm sick right now so can't smell anything in the line to see if premix passed through
Guess I'm not getting a good seal somewhere?

I don't have the button holders but I had seats and MX bars.
Pics or it didn't happen :willy_nilly:
You could just rock it. It's not gonna clog the flow or anything. Otherwise I'm thinking of the little grabber on the end of a cable that comes with a magnet kit. It's about 2' long and has a little claw on the end like those machines where you get a chance to pick up a stuffed animal.

So I 'fabricated' up a plate for my dess and choke since I picked up some moto-x bars. I used a motor mount shim and bent it at an angle with my vise to attach to the old bar pad mount. Widened one of the slots on the shim with some metal shears for the dess. And then angled the bottom for extra slip protection. It's not pretty but it works!

Might be worth putting some rubber edging round that. Looks pretty sharp. You'd be singing the high notes if you make a mistake in the chop...
I just read all 11 pages of this saga. Did you ever get it to run? Takes a lot of time and patients to do all that work. Did you do anything on the 951 yet?
