No soldering yet Captain Fun. I want to run the bike and make sure everything is 100% good to go.
Speaking of which, for a first start up after a rebuild, what's everyone's procedure?
I know I have spark already. I have the Pamco rotor set in the middle of the retard and advanced position. Cam chain tension is adjusted. Valves adjusted. I'd like to check for oil pressure on start up as well. Since I'm not using a tach; what's the best way to do this? I was thinking about cracking the fitting on the oil feed line where it connects to the reducer in the case and see if oil leaks out there. Then snug it back up once I see oil.
Should I run a fan in front of the engine as well?
Hoping to get her fired up by the end of this week!
