and after a few fits involving getting fuel to the carb then thru the carb, we have fire!

Among the issues in getting it going were a "dead" float needle in the new carb--it's likely missing the internal spring in the float needle since the plunger stays down in the hole and will not support the float.
It also seems i was using what might be a plugged fuel line, went to a clear hose to resolve that.
The vacuum petcock also seems to be "fighting" with the carb, have the carb and petcock T'd together to the intake and I'd swear its pulling the fuel back out of the system.
will most likely convert it to gravity feed.
At this stage, it's a verified runner, only things i haven't checked are the charging feed back to the battery and whether or not the cdi is rpm limited.--didn't sound that way during the test run.
At this stage i can work up electrical mount tabs etc. and move on to seat, body panels and the couple pieces in need to fab for the steering.
coming soon!
