Well, after 27months of one problem after another, plus a budget that I will never see again it's finished. It would have been way cheaper just to buy a restored bike, but where's the fun in that. I spent the afternoon going through every setting to try and dial out a tiny misfire and it's done the trick. The first ride out was just around the block due to a clunking noise when the engine was on load. That was traced to a simple interface twix chain and chain guard. An easy fix with an M8 half nut as a spacer and longer bolt to move it away from the chain. Then the second test run was faultless although I only did 2.5 miles. It was already at full temp from the carb balancing so it was a true indication. The engine ran like a well oiled Singer sewing machine. Also pleased to report no fuel or oil leaks. I am really pleased how it turned out when I look back at the POS I started with. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way, I truly couldn't have done it without you all. And just in time for spring as well.
