And the final capper, due to genetic issues and no dental insurance for most of my working life, I had to under go oral surgery and have all but 6 teeth removed on the 31st of last month.

I also ended up messing up the new carb (lost the Jesus clip when I tried to reset the needle), so I just ordered another one off eBay. Got it in today, so I installed it after work. After making sure that the battery was charged over dinner, I gave it a few kicks to prime the carb, powered everything up and hit the switch, and she fired right up. I did need to tweak the idle a bit, and I set the idle mix screw at 1.75 turns, might be a hair rich but I can deal with that. I've got all the plastics back on and I'm hoping to take it for a shake down ride tomorrow.

Now to dig up the funds to get all these things titled!
Can you link that ebay carb plz?
