I need to get new plugs too. I think these were new back when I started this but I cant remember so I will just replace them.

I torqued everything to 12 ft-lbs like the forum recommended.
@Bob KellyIII I thought I had lost the enricher thats one of the reasons I was not putting it back on. now that I found it I will just put it back on. I agree about plug checking on air cooled bikes thoughts how I have tuned the carburetors on the newer carbed Triumphs.

I'm going to have to order a new air filter I realized earlier theres a decent size tear in it. So I guess I cant get everything going with a proper test until that comes in.........

One thing I did notice when I was retorquing earlier was the smell of gas in the oil. 108 mains must be WAY to rich for the bike with just a pod. Since like yall said the fuel burning in the crosspipe that kind of points to a rich mixture.

I might pick up a compression tester from harbor freight it looks like theyre only $30 there. or should I get the leak down tester? they would be good to have in my possesion
