So this is happening. I'm guessing water somewhere from the engine cleaning. Think it's ok to keep driving it? It almost seems electrical because I will have complete loss of power then it comes back.

My bet is that you got water inside your distributor cap. Pull the cap, dry it out and you'll be good to go.

That's what I figured. But the complete loss of power had me thinking electrical of some sort. I'll pull the cap tonight and see.
Getting water inside your distributor cap IS an electrical issue.

What am I doing? Not a damn thing. Just sitting in front of my barely working AC waiting to die. 117 is BS!!!
Is that for real or is the thermometer sitting in the sun?

Meh, it's only 102 there apparently. Call us when it gets hot.

But Yours is a dry heat. Our heat is "oppressive"!
For the record, my coolant temp got up to 196 today when I left it idling with the AC on at an appointment.

There goes your HG
Wow, 40"s on a 3.5" lift. (I see the coil spacer)
Do you have a build thread?
I really like that Y link.

Cleaned the cruiser after getting back from my 2 week 3000 mile trip through Colorado and New Mexico.
I never had to open the tool bag to work on anything on the cruiser during the entire trip.

Yeah the humidity makes ALL the difference. I have a 6 hr mountain bike race on Sunday where the temps are projected to be a mere 95 degrees. I don't even want to think about what the heat index is going to be.
Like I commented on other posts...very cool trip! Other than the yeti, what bikes do you have on the rack there?

Yeah mine is the Yeti SB66AC and then there's a Santa Cruz Blur LTC and a Specialized Stumpjumper.
It's funny how you mentioned the humidity. Coming from Oklahoma where it's 95+ everyday with near 100% humidity to going to Colorado Springs where it's similar in temp but super dry, some locals we rode with told us we'd want to get inside as it was going to be a hot day, but to us it was amazing with a nice cool breeze.
