Thank you! It’s so worth the effort.. lol..
Update. Gas tank had a pinhole leak which was fixed. Gas tank treated with red Kote tank sealer. Engine was dead. Replaced points and condenser and the bike came back to life. Boggs out when ya try to give it gas so gotta go thru the carb better. Also I noticed when I pull the throttle the spring moves and govenor stays still not moving. In turn doesn’t move the arm that goes to carb. My local engine shop was sure they sold me the right Tecumseh tension spring.. my day job takes up quite a bit of time so working on my projects is a little drawn out sometimes.. ugh.. the love of it all..
also cleaned up the fenders and shocks. Upon inspection one shock spring was broke. So replaced both springs with medium heavy duty red die springs that I picked up locally which worked out perfect. Replaced all wheel bearings. Completely dry and rusted even though the bike rolled with no problems.. always replace wheel bearings! Just waiting for a couple things to arrive in the email and new seat will be finished..
