    Help with where to start.....

    Still a bit of fine tuning left to do with the Carbs, the throttle/Idle is a bit off, but other than that she is purring like a kitten. A bit spastic at times, but I sense that is the fuel/air mixture setting combined with the throttle screw. Here are a couple more pictures with the updated grab...

    Help with where to start.....

    Seems to have worked... I only started her up for a few minutes just to see if she would do it without spewing fuel everywhere and it looks good. No leaks so far and as far as I can tell the fuel isn't backing up into the air intake either, and both cylinders got hot right away, so I'm pretty...

    Help with where to start.....

    Yea with the condition of the boot on the seized brake piston I was just going to buy a new/used set up, purchase a rebuild kit for it and use mine for spare parts. I have ran down the lines and they are surprisingly in great shape. I actually have a small fluid pump I built and it can send...

    Most certainly on the sharing, and yea I have heard of a few rumored gold mines both up here and the thumb area, one of these weekends I'm going to empty the trailer and do a day or two salvage dig anywhere I have leads.

    Let's See The XS's

    Thank you everyone and for the service recognition. Finding this Bike to work on and this site full of helpful and supportive folks has been better than any other forms of therapy for stress I've ever been subjected too. It will be a full finish after next winter. But for the spring and summer...
