  • It Runs!

    I pulled the carbs back off. I connected a fuel tank to the line with the carbs upside down. They worked fine. I checked the float height, and what was I thinking? I was at about 23mm. I reset the floats and rechecked with them upside down. Then put the bowls on and turned them right side up and connected fuel. No leaks. Put them on the bike and no leaks. Cold blooded and not adjusted yet but she runs. I am going to change out the gas that is in it and adjust it. She sounded fairly good the way she was. Maybe tomorrow we can ride.

    BTW, the wife was the one pushing me to do this today. She is excited about riding again. She actually came out and helped pull it apart and put it back together. I think I'll keep her. HAHA.
