My 67 DreamI think.. I have my leak taken care off.. though I will still work to replace all the screws. Hopefully tomorrow I can put tank back on. Rebuilt petcock seems to be working-- a little carb cleaner tomorrow and hopefully she will start. I have good spark, but may need to reset the timing.. once I drill out a bad screw.
Put tank on, fuel seems to flow to carb. However, It looks like I need to pull the carb. PO said it ran last year, but by the look of the gas that came out when I cleaned the tank it had been much longer.
I broke down and bought another bike so I have something to ride. I'm a brand new rider, so I bought a used 2009 Suzuki TU250X. It has a retro look to it, and should be good for running around town. I'm sure in a couple years I will want something bigger, but I'd rather get a lot of miles under me in a smaller bike before I move up to something bigger, The work on the Dream will continue-- I'll either use it as a second ride, or sell it once I get it running and cleaned up more. If you are near the Hagerstown MD area and interested in a 67 with 5400 orignal miles send me a PM; I'm open to offers while I decide what to do with it.
