Did you get your heated driveway on line Dan?

 I see the cold snap you folks are having and wondered. Burrrr
I finally got all the solar panels up. 24 390watt. Got the 2 50 gallon water heaters mounted the 3 15watt panels up for the 3 solar powered water pumps. One per loop. Got it all wired up and plumbed. But ran out of time and money for the antifreeze (2 50gallon water heaters and 8000ft of 3/4" pex) so still not done.
 Adding another 24 panels to the roof of the house. That'll make solar for the house 19,200watts. Just short of the 20,000watt limit for the state of Wisconsin that would turn my house into a utility. 2 new inverters 36kw. And 6 batteries. 85.8kwh. Will run grid tied for a year. To make sure I can run my entire 3400 sq ft house without any compromising. Then I'll cut the cord. And go off grid. I also have 6500watt onan generator just in case. Going to bury 1000galon lp tank. And 2 more years of OT. And I'll have my house build loan paid off.
Then I can think about retiring. No payments, no bills. Just sewer water taxes and insurance.

Is your house all done Pat? I assume you had someone build it.  I instead of being dumb like me and doing it all yourself.

Hey i didn't get a notification about the replies? I turned on the notification option.. strange..

I don not have or want LED's,

At my xj900f, 3 wires were coming form the indicator/turn switch, and made a hazard-light switch which is connected to each of them and it works!

The wiring diagram show 5 wires coming from this unit?

Seafoam is a good carb cleaner. It's magic stuff, but not instant magic. Add some to the gas tank before filling, according to label directions. Run the bike warm, then let it sit a day or so to get working. Repeat as needed. You should be able to ride as normal after that. Takes a coupla tanks to use up the Seafoam treatment, but I think you will like the end results.

But if the pilot jets are clogged, the seafoam won't get to them. I'd guess he's going to be pulling those carbs to clean them.
