wixil said:I got aggravated last weekend due to a wiring mishap. I rigged everything back up with the carbs on the bike in attempt some fire breathing. Smoke caming pouring out of the rectifier because I did something really stupid. In my head I had everything as was on the previous ignition test. I won't go into to too much detail other than I was trying to rush it while the lady was off at work. I was defeated for the attempt, so I packed it up for the weekend and got back to doing honey-dos. I couldn't leave it alone, so I put it all back together after work today, immediately catching my mistake from before. It was both a eureka moment and a realization that I can be an idiot sometimes. I robbed a plug wire and the battery off my 750, squirted in some go juice and whammy!
I have no idea how to embed this correctly, so I'll just post a link.

I'm not calling this a total win since I didn't keep it running, but I feel a little better about the state of things. I know I'm going to have to pull the clutch plates still, and there's plenty of parts to acquire and fabricate.
One up indeed.
I'll catch up soon hopefully. Been collecting funds for a big bulk purchase to save on shipping. Then the build will commence.
I've mocked up the new fork tins, and in the meantime found my left fork lower and/or internals are all jacked up. Once I removed the wheel and axle, the lower just fell to the ground with nothing holding it in place. Whoops. That's not supposed to happen. More investigation needed.
