Nice! Looks like most of the parts are there.

[MurrayF]

yes quite lucky only the chain sprocket cover is missing

although some toehead cut the ignition switch harness to hot wire it

but i will solder and shrink wrap it

[Stev-o]

Looks like a great project.  Engine kick over?

[MurrayF]

Yes it kicks over fine and i put some oil down each plug hole

i will wash it all off lube it up

change the oil and swap some carbs on to it

and get it running

once i let it run a bit i will take a compression/leak down test

before i decide anything

[Stev-o]

Sounds like a good plan.  And ditch the seat!

[MurrayF]

But it is so awesome   it just makes it lol

Sweet looking bike! You keeping it? Did you get 2 sets of pipes? I wonder how pretty she will be after a simple wash.. Is it dirt or did the paint bubble up on the side covers?

[MurrayF]

the pipes on the bike are rotten so i grabbed another set i have from a previous buy they are just a set of 2 into 1 headers

i will throw some mufflers on once i figure out what i an going to to do to it

the good news is i swapped carbs put in a battery pluged in a new key switch and a test tank

oiled it all up and it turned over 5-6 time and just runs sweet

burnt off the oil i put down the cylinders

and that is on old plugs and points lol

[Stev-o]

good news

[MurrayF]

hmm

[MurrayF]
