The bike is finally up and running. After assessing the startor I ended up needing a new one - bought an additional cdi to be safe. Had some pretty good air leaks on my first sssembly of the engine. Rectified that by use some ultimate grey permatex but only did the side between the intake and the reed block.
I feel like the base gasket was a weird size so i need to have another look at that and make sure my transfer ports line up nicely - will need to get a dremel or something for that.
The Amal carb took a little bit of figuring as well - seems like dead ped Ryan has the most information on it- kinda cool how the idle jet acts as an enrichment plug - ended up running a 55 jet for that but still want to mess around with it a bunch more.
I want to check my squish on the head but learning as I go.
The original speedometer was broken so I designed and printed my own dash - has a gps speedo - light switch for my fog lights - and it retains the original indicator bulbs for high beam and turn signal.
