Small update. I've rejetted the bike with a random jet I had in a spare carb.
Thought it was running way to lean. Would idle ok but not rev. Switched petcock to "on" instead of "res" woke this little baby right up seems to be running much better. Plug came out looking good to. With old lawn mower muffler I was running a drilled jet who knows what size. And plug was always black and constantly fouling.

I'll have to clean out tank and petcock I think so "res" works again.
I've also had issues with petcocks as mentioned earlier in the thread.
The carb I don't think us sealing anymore as the bike has pissed out close to 2 tanks of gas in my shed before I figured it out.

Had this inline fuel switch and had an idea lol



I think this will do for now lol



I also started on the front fender some more





It's had many more coats now. I'll update thread once it's back on the bike

I also did a compression test on this bike. Was able to kick an impressive almost 180 psi out of her.

I always thought rings were shot on this bike and oil was the culprit to the black plugs. Maybe not. Time will tell

Also going to be doing an icbc vin search on this bike

Haileys pw has been dropped off at a friends to get training wheels finished up
