New engine

[desert1]

The new to me engine is running and its quite powerful! I did manage to change the clutch Randy, I used an axe handle instead of a 2x4 to jam the rear wheel and the 27mm nut broke free....as it turns out the clutch in this engine is an aftermarket of some sort, its got white clutch plates unlike Yamaha plates, anyway its out.....took the bike out for about 12 miles today, took all of those miles to clear the crud out of the engine as its not run for several years.....I'm still not ready for the ride east rallie yet, I will be delayed a day as the bike needs further tuning on the idle end.....it has a tendency to run rich just when you pull away then it settles down as you get up to speed.....on the hiway, it really halls *** and real smooth power as well......gotta keep color tuning and one more carb sync.
