I was confronted with the fact that I had to buy a new battery for my
eldo. Priced it out at $110. I took the cheap route and went to
wal-mart and got a $35 battery (lawn and garden) . When I was doing all
the repairs on the bike I managed to suck the life out of the battery
two times. I simply went back to wal-mart and exhanged it for a fresh
new on (twice). If it is less than three months old you can swap it for
a new one. I felt a little guilty at first. But managed to get over
it. Now that the bike is running properly the third battery seems to be
doing fine.

This is a possibility, although I don't hear it "firing" and stopping the spin. The "static" timing is set right, but I understand from Guzziology that strobe timing is the only way to make sure things are really OK. I'll set the timing while running next and see how it advances at different RPMs. Timing my BSA many times has taught me how to watch for the mark "jumping" around because of weak advance springs....
Yep, clean fuel everywhere, tank, lines, and carb bowls cleaned out. Always 93 octane. At some point on a long trip, I'm sure I'll be back up in the hills somewhere where all I can get is 87, so I'll probably run a half-tank of it soon and see how it does. Right now, the bike doesn't ping at all under any load, so that's another reason I don't suspect the timing to be over-advanced.
Yep, and it cost me $100 too. It better be good.
