Wowee, I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle that started up as easy as this. My past motorcycles have always required a decent amount of cranking and/or lots of choke at minimum, but holy wow this was immediate! It was practically begging to run.
I would've considered this an absolute win if it didn't puke coolant and if there wasn't a massive fuel leak... Maybe don't re-use 35 year old o-rings? That'd be smart. I've already ordered replacements for those so no worries!
It ran so smoothly, though. Like butter. I really think it won't be long before this thing is back on the road. I'm beyond excited!
