Finally got a good day to exercise the 1641 twins I restored a while back out for a little ride. Dad's started up right away...mine took about 15 seconds.
I disconnected the trickle chargers and ran them to the neighbors house and back a few times to burn up the (non-ethanol) gas in carb, then did some circles around the driveway to exercise the steering. Also exercised the hydro...all and all, good fun!
The attached picture shows the twins parked for the winter after shutting off the fuel and letting engines run until the gas was out of the carburetor. Covered them with old sheets to keep the dust off. Garage heater is set for 50 degrees.
It's going to be a long, long winter...
