Installed the new float and adjusted. Set the timing, Slugged some oil in the cylinders to increase the compression and then ran the bike several times around the lake.

I needed to open the side case and clean and sand the clutch plates. I also cleaned the discs. The clutch got super stiff after a short ride. I think that something was in the crankcase that glued the clutch plates...even after I cleaned everything before putting the side covers back on.

The bike runs sweet. The engine had not run in 30yrs.

Below is a pic from today. A few more parts need to go on and she will be ready for plates.
