So some great news and some what more to learn news!
I left the pin where it was, installed a new NGK spark plug, opened the choke all the way, started peddling, let the clutch go and kept peddling for about 10 seconds while twisting the throttle, she fired up! I was able to ride around for about 15 mins at about 20km/hr.
The other bad news is that the bike dies when I pull in the clutch to let it idle. To keep it from stalling I have to pull on the throttle at a stop. Any ideas here?
Also, My CNC sprocket bolts came loose and my chain broke.. I guess I didnt have it aligned properly... luckily I didnt get hurt either.
