She’s alive! I finally got around to installing the fuel line, hooked up the throttle cable and kick it over. Fired right off, then after shutting it down it started leaking gas from the air cleaner. Shut the fuel off and it stopped in a minute. That told me the float was set incorrectly or stuck. I pulled the top off the carb and found the float pivot pin was way too long and was binding up. I took about a 1/16 of an inch off the pin, checked the float height and reinstalled. Running decent now. I need to install the seat so I can ride it and set the carb. When I bent the chock cable to install that, it was so brittle it just snapped. I guess that’s what happens with 65 year old cables.
I need to get a front brake lever and cable from Wayne also.
Tom is working on the anniversary decals, hope we can get them!
See you guys at Portland.
