First snow, first ride!

We were fortunate here in mid-michigan to get about 8 inches of snow on Saturday.  I was even more fortunate to take the ZR out for a ride!  It ran great, from low speed to almost full throttle. No engine issues at all. There is a noticeable squeak from the track so I need to check that out, but if that's all that's wrong I'll take it!

Finally, it's running!

Before I get to it running, I will summarize how I cleaned the injectors.  
1.  I set them in a prescription pill bottle filled with injector cleaner.  I put tape around the top so the screens were just below the fluid.
2. Took a 12 volt motorcycle battery, clipped alligator clips to the injector, and briefly cycled each  injector 5 or 6 times
3.  Blew them off. 

The screens were now clean so I assumed the rest was.  

Put the injectors back in the sled, dumped in fresh fuel, primed the pump, then crossed my fingers!

It started after about 10 pulls, then quit.  I pulled it another 4 times, then it started and kept running! YES!.  I shut it off after a minute, waited about 5 minutes, then tried again.  It started on the first pull, and I did the same thing 6 times in a row, starting first pull each time!

So, now, besides waiting for snow, I need to double check all my connections, put the hood back on, double-check all the fluid levels, and give it a test run when I can!
