That was my intent but I couldn’t find it when I went to buy paint. I wanted to ride it so I just got some black paint. I’ll probably use that when I redo it over the winter.
Been more interested in riding lately than working on it. After that two week blitzkrieg to get it rideable I’ve lost interest in turning wrenches for a while. I can’t ride much at the moment because I’ve yet to get it registered but I sneak a few miles in here and there. Rode downtown to get a beer today, still loads of fun.

I’m gonna have to pull carburetors after all. My #2 is still running out the overflow sometimes and #3 is leaking out the bowl. It runs good for a few minutes and then starts sounding/feeling like a couple of cylinders are misfiring. I have to think these two things are connected.
Pulled the carbs yesterday. Cleaned the float needle on #2 and tweaked the float height a little. I think the gasket on #3 was pinched but I also found stripped threads on one of the bowl screws so it wouldn’t tighten down. I ran a tap through it, got a new screw and it tightened down. Sprayed both bowls and bodies out with cleaner while they were open.
Put the carbs back on and ran it. Now I’ve got gas coming out the overflow tube on #4. Joy. I’ll pull that bowl on that one tomorrow and try cleaning it out.
It’s still running like shit when I get going down the road. I’ll fix one thing at a time until I figure it out.
