    Geez! talk about a slap in the face first thing this morning! It was like that was written about me. "The story of Jason and his old motorcycle in the garage"

    HAHA thanks, I'm back on track now!

    Ok!! it's been a few weeks. I've had a lot going on lately and it's been -30 degrees a lot lately too.

    I managed to get the carbs all finished up, back together and back on the bike before the super bowl yesterday. To my amazement, the bike fired up in less than 2 seconds! It's never started that easy since I got it.

    It's too cold and there's too much snow in the driveway to test ride it, but it started really easy in 20 some degree weather and ran in the garage for 15 minutes and seemed to have nice throttle response now. I'm pretty happy with how it all worked out.

    OK, you're nearly there. Next is a running vacuum sync; then keep an eye on the plugs for the first few hundred miles once it goes back on the road to ensure you're not too lean.

    It will probably be some time in MAY before I can get it out again. We finally started getting snow, and it's pretty much snowed every day for the past 2 weeks. March and April are the heavy snow months for us.
