Long time no post. So I indeed had the idle and air screws mixed. When I readjusted them I got the bike idling decently, at least enough to take it out for a maiden ride. The tires were low so I set off for the nearest filling station for air. Of course I nearly made it when the back tire got a flat...

So I got back into the points yesterday and I think I have them decently adjusted. After the initial cold start it turns over on the 2nd or 3rd kick dependably now.

I took out the old battery and I also removed the carbs from the bike (per your instructions G-man) and cleaned them out. They actually looked very clean inside but there was some residue. I also pulled ...
