time flies

A week turned into a month tuned into six months turned into a year my FJ has been sitting. I have 3 other bikes, and they were getting preferential treatment.
Battery dead, charged it, still would not start.
drained all the fuel from the tank and carbs.
would start but only run on 3 cylinders.
took the carbs off and took all the brass out and soaked overnight. cleaned the passages the best I could, and it ran on four. But piolet jets were clearly still plugged.
Called RPM and off they went.
I noticed my tachometer was not working now. It was when I parked it.
Found the wiring diagram, looked around near what I was working on and see nothing.
I have the fairing off poking around. Checking continuity, not much I can do until it is running again. I have time. Carbs should be back in around a week.
I also found RPM had 1 more exhaust in stock. I thought they stopped making them about a year ago. That will be coming with the carbs and some new filter pods.
I need to get this back into a better riding rotation. Love the bike and I know I will love it more with the new exhaust. That was my only real complaint about it, too quiet with stock pipes.

The exhaust has been about my only real complaint with my FJ over the last 35 years. I've tried a load of aftermarket systems (6, I think) and settled on the Remus 4 into 1 in the late 90's. It's still on the bike today and still as good as new 

Sadly, they don't make them any more.
