For the first time since about 1989 (last time it had a tag), my Vision actually ran on the road today! I bought it as a non-runner from a salvage yard three years ago and began the long process of checking out and rebuilding everything that could possibly be wrong (and as you know there are a lot of possibilities). I took a short three mile shake-down drive this evening to be sure everything was working and to see what would fall off. Everything went well until I was almost back home, when the engine began to lost power and stumble. It finally died in the driveway (good luck there) and wouldn't restart. I pushed her into the garage, and stood there staring, looking for an answer. And then it hit me- the gas can sitting in the corner was still full, meaning the Vision tank wasn't. Well, I'll try again in the morning. But those first three miles were sweet!
Congratulations!!! You must be so excited!
Congrats!!! Gonna have to post some pics or submit them to the gallery!

Thanks, guys. Without this Forum and all the knowledge and enthusiasm collected here, the bike would have ended up in the crusher a long time ago.
My bike would most likely have made the crusher also, LONG LIVE THE FORUM!!
Congradualtions on getting the V going again!
