We made real progress yesterday and we were able to fire up the bike for the first time (with gas). She ran great! Christopher Markley rebuilt the engine and carb and it was pretty much tuned perfectly (no surprise). Hearing the bike run was confidence-builder and an inspiration to continue on.
Sadly, the fuel tap assembly is clogged even though it has been cleaned with carb cleaner spray and blown out with pressured air. It's on my list to fix or replace ASAP. We used a make-shift gas tank.>
Make sure to tape up all stator wires before kick starting it. If your kill switch is not connected, just pull the spark plug to stop the bike.
