it runs! Not well, but it runs! Thank you everyone who added their input on this thread, you guys are awesome. The petcock filter that goes into the tank was disgustingly clogged and there was no inline filter. And with the amount of rust in that tank it’s a no brained it wouldn’t start.
Driving it around it seems alright, but it did pop when I let off the throttle after bringing it up to about 8k I think? (Wasn’t looking at the tach but the needle was at about 11 o’clock lol. That and when I pull in the throttle the rpms would start to creep up and up to about 4 or 5 thousand tons and stay until I turned the idle speed screw (black plastic knob on left side of bike) back down, and every other time I pulled the clutch in and came to a stop it would do the same thing. Almost thinking it might be a vacuum leak. Any thoughts on that? Haven’t adjusted the carb from the 2 1/2 turn position Or anything yet. Plan on it tomorrow afternoon. I was so excited to ride I just hopped on and went.
