test injectors across the pins with an ohm-meter. should be .69 i think??? don't break the injector connector - slide the red tab back, then squeeze, i think???

see if #1 ohms out differently than the others.

 

also making a pecking sound like it has dropped a lifter

 

welcome to dodge-ville. lol.

 

well now for the good news.. started up this eve. after work looking for a vacum leak (wife giving it gas so it would idle) pecking stops makes a cracking sound motor shuts down and now the starter will not turn it over. i beleive it may be locked up. gave it a good cussing and peed on the tire and went back into the garage to wrk on my baby

 

dammit. the pos has fallen apart before your very eyes...

that's an odd looking bike. what am i looking at ?

 

shhh dont hurt her feelings (lol) yeah the motor is deff locked up pulled starter put breaker bar on crank cant budge it, liked to never pulled the dipstick out it looked like it was mangeled. oh well it could be worse i could have bought it the day before (instead of last week) checked advance auto $1890.00 for a reman.the bike is a 42 degree rake 4up and 4 stretch in the back bone, sportster motor, shaved the cam cover and a few other things 20 somethin girder off of a bsa

 

you're taking this extremely well, i'd be a pissed off sob.

 

well/**** happens, if you let stuff like this get you down it just makes you feel worse and worse,you have to tell yourself to look on the bright side (even after a buddy at work says if i knew you were looking for a dodge my cousin has a 2001 just like yours for 3200) god love his heart i wanted to choke him. I have started worse projects (completely made a frame for a 1995 wrangler) 2 choppers / things always look a little better after you take a step or two back and cool off. at least i will have a new motor with zero miles on it to drive to work. as soon as i start the swap i will post pics and a step by step of the removal and install thanks for all the help and advice.
