So remember that leak in the gas tank I sealed? Turns out, I didn't
. Lesson learned, test before painting. So after a day of being pissed off I got to searching for a good replacement tank. I found one on eBay with very clean inside that only required a little body work. So after a couple days of fixing a some dents and waiting for more clearcoat I was able to paint again. This time I checked that the tank held gas beforehand. I also cleared my tank badges while I was at it.
As for the problems I was having with choke and stalling out all it took was a little bit of tweaking the idle adjuster. With the new tach cable hooked up I got it idling just where it's supposed to be. It runs great now, but I'm still going to sync the carbs, I split the cost of a motion pro carb sync tool with my brother so I just have to take an afternoon to do it.
So after the paint dried I put everything back together and it looks great! I got insured and registered and rode around all yesterday afternoon with a big dumb smile on my face! I drove it to work this morning as well and it actually made going to work on a Sunday enjoyable. Here's a cell phone picture I snapped out back of my work.
It's going to rain the next couple of days but I'll take some more pictures with a good camera once the weather clears up.
