Much appreciated guys
Well today was big for this boy. It's alive
After all these months of wondering how it was going to run after all the repairs I've done to it, I'm delighted to say it runs great.
Let it run to get some heat into it, then left it sit to cool off and took the fuel tank and tins off and re-torqued the head bolts. Wasn't off by much.
"If" there ever is a next time, I'll run a temporary fuel source instead of mounting everything and having to take it back apart to re-torque the head bolts. Learn as you go I guess.
Noticed the battery holder I built is a little deeper than the factory one, so my bolts are a "tad" to longeasy fix there...
Buttoned everything back up, then had to fix a couple small nicks in the paint, next comes the hood and headlights, then ????
