IT LIVES! IT LIVES! Two years after bringing this rusty wreck home with the carburetor in pieces in styrofoam cups, I finally got her running. Turns out I hadn't reconnected two spark plug wires and I had only put in enough fuel (after sealing the petcock the way Sean Barney suggested) to run it on reserve, I realized nothing was coming out of the petcock when I removed the lines. Of course, I had to switch it to reserve. After a million kicks and a bruised inner leg, it fired up on the first kick and ran like a scalded dog. Of course it was loud because I'm using the old pipes and one is broken in half. I am so pumped after so much discouragement. Im taking a break for the SuperBowl food but I will film a little video of the bike running for you all to share the joy. Another neglected KO back from the dead!
