It's looking good,, I like the pipe lining up with the footpeg bracket..
I know... I got lucky there.  But no room for a passenger.   That was by design.   🤣

 So the frame,wheels etc look to be a 77-78 F2-F3 model. What year is the engine,is it a matching later F also with a re-paint ?

Yes it's a 1978 F.  Everything matches. I've had it a loooong time.  Not In the best shape when I started.  But it's come a long way.

Just an update.  I put the pump back together and installed everything.   Went well. No problems there. 

Put the carbs on and that was interesting. I've attached a couple of photos.  Months ago I got a new fuel petcock. Never gave it much thought until now.  It has one connection.   Seems the bike has two.  ???

That little hose look very important.

Any thoughts on this?

 The bike might not notice unless you use a lot of gas.  Long hill, heavy load, full throttle, etc.

Pull the oil pan if you have not done so already, and check the oil pump screen for blockage. This is common to block up from debris and gunk, and may need cleaning.

OK well this is good advice. Looks like I'm going to remove the brand new exhaust I put on and drop the oil Pan and see what I see in their.  I should have done this 1st this is my mistake. Live and learn.   It's better to do all of this and find the problem now then started up in caused damage.

Thank you guys I appreciate the help.

Oil pump is out.  No blockage on the screen.  On the bottom of the pan I did see some shinny pieces of aluminum, but not a great deal of debris.   Turning the gear by hand, I can feel the resistance that its creating, but I have no idea if it's the right amount of resistance. 

I've watched a video to help me inspect the clearances inside, so that is the next step for me.

For what it's worth, I recently installed a re-conditioned pump from CycleX in a freshly re-built K 4 motor. Oil pressure came up super fast. Worth every penny of $86 for the piece of mind and labor saved taking the thing apart. As always, submerge the unit in oil and turn til no more bubbles appear.
