It's Alive

Well Saturday afternoon was time well spent. After hooking up the ignition and the instrument cluster, we tried starting the bike. It was eager to try but something just wasn't right. We used a little starting fluid and it would spring right to life but wouldn't stay running. Well, it's got to be a fuel problem, because it has spark and timing. After a little investigation we found that there was some water in the bottom of the tank. After about twenty minutes and a use of a screwdriver we got the water out of the bottom of the tank. We tried again and va-voom. The beautiful sounds of three cylinders firing on their own is what we were rewarded with. While it is not yet ridable, there are still brakes to be hooked up, and instrument brackets to find and install, it is running.
