Finally finished

[graggy]

Finally finished my first bike build. I think I’m going to wait until tomorrow to fire it up. Is there anything that I should know about starting for the first time? I put a little 2 cycle oil on the cylinder walls when putting the engine together but that’s about it. So it will be sort of a dry engine until it fires to get lubrication elsewhere. Still need to put the air cleaner on

Since my Zeda 80 is down for the count at the moment and is really seized up tight, It's gonna be a while before I really tear everything apart and get it running again. I found the top of the piston to have a full carbon build up on it as well as fine particles of metal lying on top, so I am...
