The COVID-19 lockdown has given me time to wrap up some loose end here at home. I removed the fuel filler tube from the Duster yesterday and replaced it with a Detroit Muscle Technologies seal. I drove the old girl over to the local gas station and filled the tank. I'm happy to report that she did not spew gasoline all over the ground! I'm still trying to track down the source of my electric issue. When I turn the headlight switch on to the running light position, I keep blowing the 20A fuse. I believe that circuit includes the running lights and the cigar lighter. I disconnected the rear light harness, the front pigtails and the cigar lighter and I still blow the fuse. Looks like I'll need to cram my old man neck up under the dash.
I finished another side project over the weekend. I have my first motorcycle...1980 Harley Sportster that I've owned since 1987. Last summer, I rewired the handlebars and did some other things to her. This year, I had the gas tank cleaned, rebuilt the carb, installed new intake manifold gaskets, flushed the brakes, adjusted the clutch and chains. I took her for a ride yesterday. She runs like a champ! There's nothing like the vibrations of an old Ironhead Harley. I'm certain that all my dental fillings are firmly attached to my teeth!
