Fixed
I had to pull the motor and crack the case. Seems in my zeal to get the bike running I didn't count the shifts, the big cog, number 19 was backwards. Flipped it and shifts into all five, although fith seems out a bit, but that might just take a turning gearbox to engage over 60%.
Got everything put back together and took Surly out for a test spin, works slick as snot. Then I figured out my bads toast, stalled at a stop sign, pushed 1/2 mile to a hill that I could jump start her and took her home before it got dark. I think she'd pull the front wheel if I wasn't as light in saddle as I am, as it is tires are going to need replaced quite frequently. She idles at 1100 as smuthe as silk.
Grinning ear to ear. Gotta love that first ride of the season.
