Well, I got it fired up but it is running like ****..... one sparkplug doesn't want to fire under 2k RPM.... so more parts !
Man that is a Powerful machine ! it grabs the RPM's quite fast for a 4 stroker
but it is not running smooth.... feels like pre ignition to me so next is check the points and timing....
but I kick started it with no trouble took about 8 kicks and the use of quick start
but it ran !
it won't idle with that plug dieing so I can't really adjust the carbs yet...
I was hoping that the new mufflers would quiet it down alot... all they did was give it a low RUMBLE ! LOL

the new clutch is working great, no slipping at all trying to kick it
I did not put it into gear though .... and no leaks from the primary cover that I could see, so I must'a done something right...HAHAHAHA
....
I expect to find the timing is off.... that would account for the hard starting !
I'll dig out my inductive timing light and have a go at it.
....
later !
Bob.....
