Astrid: The Final Stretch

Some odd jobs, but this pretty much gets us to the final point.  The only thing left to do is rig up the killswitch and secure the wiring, and also decide how to hang the gas bottle.  From there, it's just kick and cross your fingers.


Carb gets mounted and air hose attached (which was a pain to fit).

700 mL of the Castrol 20W50.

Something odd - if you attach the kickstart lever flush to the case, it won't clear the exhaust on the way down.  I'm not sure what's out of whack.  Maybe it's the wrong model of kickstarter, or maybe it's the wrong exhaust.  But either way, I had to mount the lever out at the very edge in order to get a full rotation.  I think for the short term it will have to do.

And the big moment - 120 lbs on the compression test!
