It's alive!!!

The monster is awake.

That was Mr. G giving it a try.  Mr. Double J noticed the clutch is slipping , Mr. G is confirming that.

Mr. D also had a go at it.

I had a sticking throttle when the wheel was turned to one side.  I removed the push cable and lubed the pull cable and now it returns well.

I had to take out the carbs to do so, I don't have the steady hands or the dexterity to work in that confined space.  Stupid me, when I tried to put the damned things back I had them backwards.  I got  frustrated until I realized what I was trying to do.  The first thing I did when I figured out what a nimrod I can be is look around to make sure Mr. Double J didn't see me.  I know he's going to read this, and that's OK, but fixing it before he found out was important.  I have a way of frustrating Mr. Double J with my nimrodedness.  I don't blame him, I can do some real head scratchers.

Now what that is sorted out I have a clutch issue to deal with.  I have the one out of the spare engine, I'll check its tolerances and if it's good it'll go in the bike.
