Thanks.

Still haven't actually ridden the bike yet: rebuilt everything but the brake lines, but they were clogged/collapsed, so waiting for new ss braided ones.

In meantime, I start it every couple of days.

It is a bear to get warmed up, but once it is, the engine revs to the redline with no problem.

I do have a question about the choke and idle though.

When I first started working on the bike, the choke lever has some "friction" to it, that is it would stay wherever I set it.

Now I have to hold it to keep the choke on.

Does the choke lever have a friction plate or something similar that I just have to tighten up on the lever mechanism or is holding it in-place until warmed up the proper modis operandi?

And it seems like I have to fiddle with the idle adjustment a little bit every time I start it up. Is this just a warm up issue or is something else going on here?
