The Snake is Alive....
Another full day of thrashing. I'll post more pics tomorrow. I got the bike mobile about 3:30 pm, took it outside and it fired right up on first pull. I was able to adapt some fuel line for the pump-to-carb without kinking (the local Honda dealer does not stock any molded fuel line or clamps, or anything else, go figure---and they are angry people, too). Delray was concerned about splash in the tank, so the baffle was put in...I don't see a need as the bike ran well on a quarter tank after losing the baffle.
Once running and sure that all was working, I took it out for a spin. I was about 3/4 mile away when the master link on the rear gave way, so I had to push it home.:laugh: I'm not sure if I got the clip snapped on tightly...:facepalm: So after pushing it home, and reconnecting the chain, I did a little video. You can see the true color better in the video. I still have to install the rear fender, install the clutch and chain guard, and adjust the clutch brake (right now it's too loose).
I'm going to play with the governor rod spring, as I'm getting maybe to 3200 rpm, and I should be pulling more rpm--I'm sure it's a minor adjustment. She pulls strong, and will do well on the trails at Windber.
So here she is:
