It's alive!!!!!
so...I opened the garage door and saw this bike sitting in my garage collecting dust, I said to myself "I WILL GET YOU RUNNING!" I pulled her out, sat and stared at it for awhile thinking, there is only three things that could cause it to not run...
1)air...it can't be that, its getting plenty of it with no filter
2)spark...no, it shocked my dad last time we ckecked for spark
3)fuel...
This has to be the culprit, and with a the gas tank all clean from the coke treatment and a brand new fuel petcock and fuel line, it has to be the carb. I checked the handy dandy book I bought from ebay
and found the section on the carb, I took off the carb, drained it, set the carb back to the factory specs, put het back on, gave her a kick and heard a VROOM POP POP VROOM!!!! Then it died, kicked her again, and she sang a whole song!!!! Shut her down and tried again, same thing, but this time I drove her around the block. She doesn't like to stay running unless the choke is half on, idling near is impossible, but when she's deep in the throttle, OOOOH BABY, is that magic to my ears!!!! I figure all I have to do is, dial in the carb and I should have a running bike!!!!
Oh joyous of days, this thing is gonna be an awesome winter project.
