Finally everything in place

Finally I got everything in place. Now it's just the tank and the newly bought battery left before I cross my fingers and hit the starter button!




Several late nights in the garage made me a little too eager to get the bike toghether. I did remove the petrol tap and I did see that the o-rings wasn't too good, but still I didn't double check that the tap was tight, and of course it wasn't! Petrol all over the engine and the next thing I discovered was that the paint I used wasn't petrol resistant! That was really a slap in the face after all the work with painting the engine!

However, when I changed the o-rings the tap was tight, and it was time to try to start the bike. At first the engine wouldn't crank although I had a new battery, but when I connected a car battery the engine started within just a few cranks.

What a relief!
