O'Reilly's has those 6v batteries? That's cool. They always have the NGK B8ES plugs in stock too. FWIW, the Dean's Bridge Road Advance is the local mini warehouse. I usually end up going there for a lot of the "less likely to have in stock" parts. I do the online search for the part. There's an option to check stock at other stores. It gives you a list of the one's that have the part, which in our case is usually Dean's Bridge.

I intend to maybe later get a new slide and spring for the original, and rebuild it for use.
Just wasn't confident I could get it to work after rebuilding the engine with the bore at .50mm over.
Hopefully gonna try to fire this thing up this weekend.
112 degrees in the garage, just too freakin hot to be out there, after working in it all day.

Hey Eric.......it was the one on Peach Orchard that had the battery, but it was the last one.
I asked the dude there if there were others and seems there's none in the area has one, but he did say, they can order them.
I told him there's a few of us that may need them, he'd should go ahead and order some and keep.

Oh, when trying to rebuild the original carb, the little clip for the jet needle disintegrated too.
Fortunately I have a bunch of CB750 carbs laying around, used a clip from those.
Plus, looks like the jet needles might work with the CB100 carb too.

I don't believe it. I actually got this little cb100 to fire and run. Holy crap.....unbelievable.
First time in 15 to 20 years this thing has ran.
OMG, actually tore this thing down to the crank, replace piston, rings, geeeeesah.
Don't know how to do video to post, I'm an old fart.
Now I have to get all the other sh1t together cause when the wife hears this thing is running, she's gonna get excited, and want to try it.
Things just don't go as planned. Daughter's car crapped out on her, have to help her, she drives an hour each way to work, so her car is priority right now.
Once again, life gets the spotlight.

Guess I'll head to the garage and pull the engine, and begin the tear down.
Got a kicker and gear coming thanks to 45exmayor...thanks Rick.
Or I can go to the local Street and Trail, and order a sprocket and chain, and push start it for a few.
I couldn't get it to idle on it's own, had to blip the throttle to keep it going.
Sounded like a little back fire through the carb.
But, she would fire on the first kick (until it stripped). Man oh man.
