did they draw this yet? who won?

I may have spotted your issue. When you finally get it running you can see sparks under the chrome ignition box arcing to the motor. It happens several times once you get it running.

Yeah something is grounding out.

There is a short in the wiring, you caj see the box arcing whenever it would fire.

That 81 wing looks like they ordered every accessory available in the JC Whitney catalog

I am glad you got a West Virginia chopper running. I was born in West Virginia. Hillbilly choppers ROCK!

It literally hurts my soul to know you had to sell bikes to fix whatever is going on, Josh just know we all care deeply for you and Chey and with all you do for forgotten angels and others know we are also willing to help you whatever the situation….

My thoughts exactly. The Dung Beetle and Wiliam Defoe's The Green Goblin hurt the most 😪. If you've been watching for a while, he has plenty of bikes in storage so there's no shortage 😂.

I bought an 1800 lb wheel stand chock and measured out a bit on the stand,drilled some holes,attached the chock,and boom,a chopper lift

In March, my wife is leaving me to go to Las Vegas to see a show with her sisters. I'm going to be freeeeeeee from work for a four day weekend. Friday I'm dropping oof my wife at Pensacola Airport, and on Saturday I'm going to take an hour ride on my motorsickle to Biloxi to a Vietnamese restaurant restaurant where I'm going to order my fave dish, the only restaurant that makes it, and eat there. I won't be able to finish it, but I will be able to take home in my top box on my motorsickle. I got the same one that Josh has the square one with a lock. I really like the box because I'm able to carry a lot of things like my old scoot scoot. Than on Sunday I'm going to ride my motorsickle to church like I always do, but I'm going to be alone since my sister inlaw is not there with me, she's in LasVegas with my wife hence her sister. I'm going to enjoy so much riding on my motorsickle I just can't wait!

He doesn't cry into his wheaties in the morning, he eats frosted mini wheats.

Sparks when it got running!

Praying for y’all man

That Goldwing is covered in stuff straight out of the JC Whitney catalog. That was the go-to for gold wings and jeeps.

We appreciate what you do, thank you for the inspiration.

that box with all the electrical crap is arcing on the gearbox .

The amount of personal growth you gained during working on this bike plus everything else you went through. Is priceless. I know it sux at the time, but by granny's you did it!!!! Way to go Josh.

I loved riding my K3 Honda ridgit chopper, with 10" overs, had it for 25 years.

You might think I'm late, but I assure you I am perfectly on time.

Cool funding. Nice bike. I'm senoir had to get rid of my big bike. But Found little harley 750 that I made fit me. Water cooled for city riding looking for miss hottie. Moved myself to senoir high rise. Uhaul storage unit rocks for carport manage.

You are not alone; you have an army of support. Hang in there we are all pulling for you.

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Josh

So glad I can straight up donate $25 or whatever again! Thanks for fixing that option . Cheers fuckers !!! 💯🤘🙌

I welded the ramp from the bike lift onto the end of the lift with some supports underneath. Easy way to extend those cheapo lifts for choppers.

Hope all gets better quick for yall.

That CB starting sounded like Flipper!!!

Just when I thought my kick only shovelhead can be a pain at times. I guess I'm good now.

You do what I wish I could! At least someone gets to!!! Great work!

Man i cant wait to find a deal like that here on a bike like those.

I met Jared and Flip at Fuel Cleveland a couple years back. Good dudes

I was talking about the C.B chopper ,I forgot you work on lots of bikes

Josh.. or honourable brother Shadetree.. i am so happy you got it fired up.. im sorry to see you and the pretty Cheyleesie sold your old bikes off.. but i believe you when you say "good things will prevail".. You got Uncle Weems involved on it.. man, thats just so cool.. the "dungary" man knows his way with those things for sure.. love that guy.. Cant wait to see what you swapped for man.. Keep twisting that wrist brother..

I felt that last sigh lol thats right about the point where I tell myself to stop before I break something

Oh God not the green goblin!

Glad you got her started!

The chopper is looking mint 👌

That chopper sounds like a demented dolphin!

Classic Shadetree video🤘. Sorry you and Chey had to sell some bikes. I know you'll be fine bc you always are. Its hard making the best of a bad situation but you hide it well. We're here for yall 100%. 🤘🤠

the latest tshirt with the large print on the back fits great! and looks even better. thanks for making that one with that larger print in the ultra cotton shirt.

Over the past 30 years I've worked on all my own motorcycles but I dare not do it without some kind of shop manual, especially when I'm opening something on the engine. I'll bet there's a ton of used Clymer manuals for that bike on the web for cheap.

The fastest bike I've rode was a built GS that scared me. I remember hearing people talk about the CBRR one of guts had and when they lined them up on the road that same GS passed that RR on the back wheel

Weems is certainly a TOP BLOKE and let us not forget it was Weems that introduced Shadetree to Forgotten Angels in the first place if it wasn’t for him most of this content wouldn’t exist.

Wishing you all the best.

Your the type of man that will change the world josh! I appreciate you and everything you do!

Mountain Jedi Wife Unit here... Josh, it's the 3 As with us.... Anytime Anything Anywhere This also applies to book recommendations. 😘

27:10 onwards , you can see the electronic box arcing against the motor case. i suspect its grounding out your magneto or you have a short in the wiring in that box. something aint right.

Nothing better than that feeling…. Hope all is well

Hang in there, man. Always appreciate your videos and honest thoughts

Ok so how many people did the Dr Frankenstein "It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!!!" when the 750 fired up and caught? 🤣

Man I hope whatever is going on that you guys get through it ok. Keep your heads up and do what you have to do. We'll still be here watching when you can upload videos.

I've been there too. fist fight it and still loose. videoing failures. then I sold it because I couldn't get it. hang tough my man. love your stuff.

Approved on the lift!

My prayers are with you and Chey…

Hi Josh you have a short underneath the silver wiring box look at your video, that's why its missing.

I've worked on CB750's and it sounds like you have some fueling issues as well. When you did get it started, those pipes sounded nice! Mostly, I was REALLY sorry to see the Vomit Comet and Willam DeFoes Sportster go. I hope everything works out well for you guys. Eric in Kissimmee.

Great cause and you guys do and incredible job one cent at a time Bro.

Music choices always delight.

I was going to put a magnito on my '75 ironhead until i saw how much it would cost lol ... that single part was almost as much as i spent on the bike lol

HOWdy S-T-S, & ARMY ... Thanks COOP ...

Holy highway pulls, that 1000 stretch aint joking.

Hopefully see you at Mama Tried in the frozen tundra..

I also have days like these, I think most people do !! I think talking about it does you good I hope it works out for you both X

I had a buddy who had the same problem with his CB 750 chopper. The AMEN electric box had to be remounted and its contents rewired. It was a magneto-sparked ignition too. The bike was originally built by Tony Carlini out of Detroit. I remember that guy very well. The bike in question had gone through 2 previous owners before my buddy bought it. Once the electrics were sorted out, he rode it to CA and back to Ohio, with no major gremlins. Ride safe, Shade. -- Walt in Cleveland.

I have two cb750 choppers. One's on an old Amen Savior frame, the other one is a 76 760F in a frame made for a cb 550.

Love the chopper old school have to love them

don't feel to bad. I had one of these and i was the same way, more time trying to start it than riding.

The drag bike trade in is wild 😅

In my experience copper core wires are used for magneto set ups and carbon, graphite or spiral core plug wires are used in coil setups due to “interference” idk man I just turn the wrenches haha. But if you weirdos are looking for spark plug wires that are compatible with most coils, lowbrow customs makes 8mm spark plug wires. Hope that helps somebody out

Lovely chop you got there. Thought I remember you've got a basic welder, right? Why not get yourself some thick angle iron and fabricate a bolt on lift extension just for choppers? You already know how wide and long it needs to be from where it parks. If the original bike lift front wheel cradle is bolted on, you can just use those same bolt holes for the extension and swap it out. I'm not blessed with Lift Privilege but that's what I'd do. Keep up the good work, swamp wizard. Much love from DC.

Great to see a mechanic just like me lol….. stick at it

Keep on trucking Josh!

Proverbs 27:17 as iron sharpens iron one man sharpens another its great you have good friends that will help you dont beat yourself up its a process they have been there too

The tourglide seems like it suits you so well, I wish you would keep it! Good luck with whatever the hell is going on. I hope it all works out ok.

Keep on keepin on🤘🛵

Did some dude just ride away on the Green Goblin? No waaaay... 😢

Dude you just gave me Deja Vu. The bikes being takin away, the "not quite homeless". the owner of the house i was renting sold it two months ago, had to move. Had to sell my 67 Ford f250 and all my parts, and just had to throw half my stuff away. Hope you guys arent in the same deal.

Hate to admit it, but I was thinking the same thing dude. Not to mention, his garage is missing alot of the stuff/tools/clutter it usually has in his camera shots.

Starting that bike sounds like SpongeBob and Patrick cursing 😂

I see spark! When you got it running it was sparking under the chrome box.

Choppers and bobbers looks so fine, problem is that someone set those up just the way they want and old engines will indeed get you broke, you want to really enjoy riding? get yourself a stock recent motorcycle and let it be, let it alone as it is except by exhaust, air filter and a tuner or an aftermarket carb kit or in fact a whole new aftermarket carb (all these optional) otherwise just do regular maintenance. On the other hand if you want a chopper or a bobber it's better to build one yourself, then again get ready to bite the bullet if you go with an old engine, 'cause it will be expensive no matter what, and you're gonna end up taking care of that engine more than you ride it. Just the way it is.

Facts bro 💯

Looks like a Farbanks Mores mag, if you have a tractor junkyard they are on some older tractors and commonly seen on Wisconsin 4 cylinders. We have adapted them for some rather strange lash-ups and they work like mad.

Sounds like a angry dolfin, trying to start.

Every time you say "with everything going on" it sounds super ominous, so it's good to hear you're doing OK. lol At the same time it sounds like a little bit like maybe Brap Star garage is coming back, so I dunno. Also, I'm happy to learn that you are including a raffle still, so thank you for that!

That bike trying to start sounded like Flipper. 🐬 Family 🙏

I know exactly how you feel. I decided to take a break from motorcycles and try a classic car. Some days I feel accomplished working on it other days it just compounds the other bullshit going on cause nothing goes right.

Great video sir

Love the old Wings that you could get without the farings. Up to 82 I think.

If anyone noticed there was something arcing on that chrome box in the vid there?

Stay up big dawg!

Could have sworn I saw the chrome tray arcing out on the block, once you got it to run. Some stray electrickery possibly.

That starter sounds like Flipper the bottlenose dolphin. You should name that bike “Flipper”.

Love your wrenching vids

Nice mag.

Cool bike. I had that same springer front end and wheel on a Shovelhead chopper with a Ness Digger rigid frame. Even in the 1980s I couldn't find the front drum brake pads so I ran it without a front brake. Hell, I didn't want the ugly brake lever anyway. I had a foot clutch and hand shift so no lever on the bars at all. I have entered your Shovelhead Tour Glide raffle. Wish me luck. I will bring a trailer to see you in Florida. I will ride the pi$$ out of that bike until I die. Then my son will enjoy it.

Hell yeah brother

They sell universal chopper extensions for bike lifts like that.

Harness really isn't that bad. I signed up first day and it differs month to month but normally about $30.

I know you have a lot going on right now, but if it helps: scroll to the 27:00 mark and look under that chrome box as the engine is running. See it? Flicker, flicker!

You and Weems should do a UK trip
