Woohoo! I knew she would start right up.

Firing up the Benly 150 for the first time.
After the carb work was done I knew it was ready to fire right up. I needed to lube the new throttle cable a little bit as the grip action is a little sticky. Then I made sure the rear axle was right and adjusted. The tires haven't leaked a bit of air and all the lights work... Time for a ride!
I simply hooked up the fuel line, turned the key clockwise one click and you know it's ready to kick start when the neutral light is on right in front of you on the headlamp housing. I gave it full choke and 2 kicks later it started up just fine. It sputtered for 20 seconds and instantly smoothed out. I coated the cylinders and pistons good with a film of grease to make sure that it wouldn't be damaged before any oil could reach them upon ignition. After a little oil and grease burned off the little bike runs totally perfect. I went for a ride around the block and left the helmet back on the shelf =] Isn't that how they rode Hondas back in the day?
