[QUOTE="Silent, post: 552843, member: 4841"] Time for another update: Tranny pan is back on, as are both side covers. The bikes even back on it's wheels as it should be! Now the task of putting her back together and fiddling to make all the bits work in conjunction with each other After a few weeks of procrastinating, and staring at a lonely carb rack upon my work bench, I finally got the gumption to get to work again. I pulled the float bowls off and found out why it was pumping fuel out of the air box. As suspected, there was gummed up float stuck in the open position. After much cussing and fiddling, I finally managed to get the carb rack and air box back in a couple days ago. Tonight, I dumped in fresh oil and fuel, and she fired right up! Even ran decent considering it wasn't hitting on #2! Can't wait to hear her purr as I already know she can :D I think I'm going to have to replace the battery to continue testing as the one that was in the bike is rather weak, and not really up to the task anymore. Once I've got her running well, I can turn my attention twards the braking system. The brakes are in dire need of a going thru and some new stainless steel brake lines couldn't hurt either B) [/QUOTE]
