What it's all in good order and the carbs aren't empty from sitting it should fire up cold and idle pretty much instantly with the choke pulled, at about 3K or so. If you haven't rebuilt and sync'd the carbs they are probably due. Same with the points and timing and valve lash. They are really smooth and tractable motors when they are happy, the transmissions are always kinda clunky.
yea thanks, i got the whole motorcycle looked at and serviced at a local shop called Year Round Leisure it is all good. Its been sitting since winter time which is 6 Months ago and didn’t have starter fluid to get the fuel into the carbs :)
@@angelicoleander Yeah if they sit for more than a few weeks the carbs can get dry, since they are pump fed and not gravity about all you can do to get them filled is let it crank for awhile. No problems if you run it for a bit now and then. Little smoke on cold start is normal too, worse if it's on the side stand for long.
Cool bike. Take good care of it. It was unique for it's time in so many ways. Resist the urge to "improve" things. It is almost a museum piece by now.
i like to make it my own and probably will keep it for a long long time :)

@@angelicoleander probably a way of saying he's jealous of that balling ride
