The bike ... she lives again! Was touch and go there for awhile. Rebuild kits ordered and although chocked full of all sorts of bits did not include the much needed needles. Salvage carb bank found on a back shelf somewhere gave up the goods and now the old gal fires right up with a new 'joie de vivre' thanks to the talented & patient Mr. Willis. Idling a little fast now after warming up but that should be a simple adjustment.

Not where it should be....
Got the bike down to the garage Friday night and got the carburetor assembly removed. The bowls were very clean but two of the needle tips were sheered off and will require a little finesse to remove. 4 carb kits are now on order and will arrive next week.

B-12
Him h'ain't been able to start the bike like Him wants to with a simple turn of the key and a depressin' of the starter button....and don't have enough kick in him to kick it 30+ times so we can ride. Ryan said B-12 would do the job with a thorough disassembly and a cleaning of the carbs. If that don't do it guess him will have to get a B12 vitamin shot.
