Well....picked up an 83 parts bike with 6800 miles showing on the odometer. The motor in my project bike had me worried. It has a stiff spot in it and is making squeaking noises as I roll it over by hand. So I bought this parts bike because it had a good set of stock pipes and mufflers and a bunch of other stuff. Started messing around with the motor and got it running today. I think I'll just swap this motor into my project.That will let me get this one off the bench sooner so I can get the turbo back up there.

Got the exhaust gasket in and installed.Pipes are back on and I ran it some last night.Having issues with #1 cylinder keeping up with the others. It was working well before I removed it from the other frame.Getting good spark. Maybe #1 injector needs to be cleaned. Will look into it more today or on the weekend.Tach wasn't working so I pieced together 2 sets of gauges to make one that everything works on.
