[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 128108, member: 98"] well with the water statement you mentioned ..tells me the power to the c5 is getting compromised ... the statement of statement of needing more choke with the water statement ..kind of tells me power is compromised down low in rpm also when cold... after it warms up this all seems to go away ... it dont really its just warm enough to run while still compromised ...is what i am thinking it might be .....on hooch i bypassed the old wiring with relay ... only to have the relay go bad ... so at the moment i am running the red power lead from c5 strait to the possitive battery terminal... only interrupted by a screw on yellow electricians wire nut ... simply put i wire it together with wire nut and ignition get power right from battery no old wiring and no relay ...then turn key on as normal and start bike and go ....till i figure out or can afford a relay system as good as a wire nut ...or a really good on off switch ...hooch will stay this way ... c5 has to have good power or be compromised by whatever the condition it is hook up to ... i am not taking chances on that .... i can see the connection i make now every time ... gary from power arc had posted a relay he thought was good enough some time back ... i would talk to paul some on this wes .....be great if you could make the meet and greet ...paul coming ...
