Well....fairly productive weekend. A couple set backs, but mostly forward progress. The PIA set back is that I had an oil leak at my filters that I just couldn't seem to lick.... ended up dropping the dual filter assy down and found there was a porosity leak in the casting on the top side (not visible when mounted). So....that will have to get swapped out. Total of probably 4-5 hours waaastedddd..
Mounted up the pedals, bumped out the seat back wall for clearance to the water pump, finished dialing in the shifter, a few other odds and ends....
Then, the highlight of the weekend, I ran here around the block a few times. By the third lap, there were people standing on the front porches, and a few followed me back to the house....too cool...!!!
Carbs are balanced, but not yet dialed in. Running rich, but good enough to drive. The real trick was running that beast off a "throttle string". That was indeed tricky. Now that the pedals are mounted, I will order the appropriate length cable this week.
That's all for now......
