Got my carbs on, and most of the wiring taken care of... enough for a test firing! Started right up & seemed to run really well, but only for a minute or two. Don't have my gas tank mounted yet.
Jack, The kicker clears the brake pedal (or will with a very slight bend to the pedal). I think it only needs to get out of the way by less than1/8 in. Seems there are 2 different types of kickers that came on these bikes. If you look closely, mine pivots at the bottom like on a cb360. I took a picture of the other side, but the light was bad, looking out of my dark garage. I'll try again when I move the bike.
Funny thing, actually: I put a battery in, and when I jumped the poles on the solenoid to start it, there was a really loud bang & all the caps got blown out of the battery, then nothing. I collected them up, replaced them & put the battery back into the bike I'd borrowed it from - started & ran fine. Put it back into my project, jumped the solenoid poles and it started right up, a couple times. Ever happen to anyone? (yes, I know I'm lucky I didn't get my face devoured by acid)
