Ok, so some minor progress made on the 107 tonight. I got the lights all sorted out and properly grounded, instead of just hanging on the bottom of the fiberglass cowl screws. A little difficult since I refuse to drill any holes, but I decided on the bottom bolt for the throttle on the right side, and the bottom bolt for the hood latch on the left side. Lights are still nice and bright, with a proper OEM push-pull switch that works like a charm!
I also took the time to adjust the governor sensitivity with the spring, I found that it was one hole off how it should've been set from factory. So I set it back to the factory settings and we'll see how that helps the governor!
Progress was hindered a bit today because of work finding front tires for a certain off-topic machine... tomorrow assuming all goes well, I might even be able to fire the 107 up for the first time in almost 3 months. We'll see though...
