Well here goes another thread..
Here is a photo of the bike as it came from Nova Scotia about 8 years ago..
Being from the East Coast , that might explain the Euro style front Fender.

Then with new paint from the previous owner

So far I cleaned up the wiring..cleaned carbs and set float height.
Tidied up some other items.
Take apart oil pump and clean..looks good.
Today I fired up the bike and it took a bit to get it to run OK..
Oil pump works fine BUT will need to helicoil the bleeder as I cannot tighten the bolt..it's left hand but will a righty soon..
Motor sounds NICE ;D but may pop in new crank seals as these are way easier to do than Triples as in splitting cases.

Pop the bike in gear and stall...adjust clutch and kick..kick..kick..kick..check spark..ZIP..good ol A box...going to swap A7ss A box over...Good thing Jim might be making A series units in near future ;D

The new crank seal sure fits snug on the collar now. Right side will come later

Pipe wise, a scrambler pipe using the same pipe shape that's on Roland's bike would boil... ;D It's a twin rotary right?

Yes sir it is. Funny when I had it running late last year those High pipes are really quiet compared to the Low pipe . I wonder if the A7ss will be as quiet.
