Rigged up a fan and a gas can and got her running. We won't be sure until we can ride it a bit, but it may need re-jetting. It's close....real close, especially for a carb that wasn't originally FOR this bike.

And here's a sneak preview....
I ran out of daylight for better pics. It's about 98% done here. Still need to lube the chain, tune it just a tad, and I have some killer badges being made for the tank.
Oh, and I have a leaking petcock. I hate petcocks. I'm batting a thousand when it comes to petcock trouble. EVERY single bike I've ever built has had petcock issues.

Fantastic! The small singles are surprizing good little engines, that should be a blast to ride. Enjoy her man, you've earned it!
