clem said:Alright all bumps aside, I got the oil tank mounted to the rewelded end of the frame. I put oil in the tank and was able to prime it to the banjo bolts on the cylinder. The plan is to start it up next weekend. I should be able to get the drive hub done tomorrow. I also have the metal for the new seat on the way so that can get done also.
clem said:I got the bike running today. I had a couple of hiccups though. With the 520 chain on the clutch actuator hits the chain. It did fit without the chain so I figure that with a 520 sprocket and chain it should fit. The petcock was also leaking. It is an aftermarket one so I'll lay out the cash for the real deal, I shouldn't have taken a shortcut on that one.
I have a video but no youtube account to post it up here. Is there any other way to embed a video on this site?
It did feel pretty good to fire it up after a little more than a year with a bike that I never heard run and the engine was trashed. It fired up first kick but took a bit of fiddling to get it to run steady with the RD350 carbs on the bike.
