Well I got real adventursom today tossed in a new battery, put in a qt of fuel..... hit the starter ~NO choke mind you~... the Eli coughed sputterd, steamed (wet from the weather) and came to life!. I havent even tinkerd with the carbs yet!..... it ran enough to get good and warm I reved it a bit but nothing crazy stupid.... now needs carbs rebuilt (floats wayyyyyy out), and some new plugs, engine sounds great..... I could have possibly rode it if I was feeling that brave.........but the damn thing ran and it didnt take much to make it go. ...... this wont be as bad as I had thought it was going to be. WHOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO after all the math was done this comes to a free bike and I have put a wee bit of coin in my pocket to get it here...... Life is good sometimes
