Bob, you are right, the meters running, a new battery, new air filter... I think I learned my lesson restoring an old corvette. You don't want to see pics of an old tired bike do you? I want to fix a few obvious things like a headlight dangling by the wires and try to shine up what chromes left before I attempt to post pics.
mkramer1121, I'm in Boone County. As for the filter, I took it off and went through all the filters at the local farm and fleet store. I tried an auto parts store and they just look it up on their computers and come up with the old filter element. They don't have the time to go through all the filters they have.
