Time Stamp 9-6-2011
The bike runs. Took it down the road slightly stripped as she is not complete, but I had to see if the tranny works.
The bike did not start on the 1st attempt. The carb over flowed due to the bowl gasket interfering with float. The machined aluminum bung mount & Harley stopcock leaked at the screws, so I used my CA95 tank that I had the bung welded in. Workes great. After 6 years with the cylinders open to the air, and having the cylinders oiled for months...she smoked real well. I also cleaned the carb in a industrial degreaser in a ultra-sonic bath, which cleaned the carb inside and out.
The throttle was sticking as well.
But a little adjusting and running the bike for 30 minutes, the oil burn stopped and the throttle is smoother.
When she is complete I will take some shots and this project will be complete.
