Run Ivy Run: 2017 Kickoff


First garage of the New Year and with the rearranged garage parking.  Had to drag myself down but feel like the mojo is coming back.

  1. Tightened up the headlight bucket so it wasn't wobbly anymore.  (Why did it take me so long to do that?)
  2. Added the right clutch/CC gasket (last one in the binder)
  3. Added the intake-to-head gasket (also last one in the binder)
  4. Setup the fuel lines.  Used 3/16" which fit the carb, the shorty filter, and the aux gas line.

All was going well, UNTIL...

The last thing was to add the K&N to the carb and only today did I discover that it's too big!!  You could probably forcibly squeeze into into place, but it's a very, very tight fit.

Possible options:
  • Just force it into place
  • Find a different K&N filter (either offset or shorter)
  • Use the stock filter
  • Use the stock carb
  • Cut down the K&N filter 
  • Remove the heat gasket temporarily (good for the test start)
