What's up friends? I've finally decided to man up and fill my battery with acid! No burns! No major spills! No problems! In hindsight, I'm happy that those people on that one thread told me to man up and just go for it. Thanks, you all!
Now, we're making progress. The lights now come on but only the blinkers and the three lights on the gauge with the speedometer; not the headlight and the tail light.
The spark plug is still stuck in the engine..
But my uncle said he would give me some tools that could possibly get it out.
New ignition and two keys made for it. Umm what else? Engaged part of the front brake. I still need to establish a connection from the petcock to the gas tank with one vacuum being able to snap onto carburetor but the other one is snapped so I'll figure out a way I can get a middle piece to join those two together with.
Overall, I've made some great progress. My goal is to have the bike running by Thanksgiving so I need to get on a roll.
Also, I need to clean the carbs and change the oil. If you guys have any advice on those to, let me know.
Thanks in advance, mates!
