The initial start will be done with an auxiliary fuel supply suspended from the ceiling, similar to the below pix, so no vacuum will be required for fuel feed. Of course, the petcock vacuum line will...

Close.

OEM Pistons, rings, piston pins, circlips, gaskets, etc. were a little over $265. This did not include S&H, or boring.... honing in this case.

It could, but I'm not sure at the moment. I did look at them and should have made a note what they were, but didn't. They're in the bike now, but will pull them out shortly and see.

The cam timing series took 39 hits (as of this a.m.). The holed piston shot took 181.

Many, many thanks to all that took a looksee. :thumbup:

I also questioned the air filters when I found the holed piston, but the owner said that carbs had been rejetted.
