Roxy II: Top End First Try

Putting Roxy's top end back together with the goal of getting her back on the road with a few custom modifications.

Swapped out the temporary bad jug with the +.25 that came off Red. 

Had to open a new gasket set to get the one that goes between the crankcase and the jug.

Had a little trouble with getting the baseplate on without messing up the oil spring but was able to finesse it on.

Installed the CS90C (#1) carb which seemed like the best bet since it had been in use on both Red and Ivy in the past.

Initially had a lead out of the drain screw and had to cut a DIY gasket out of an old ripped intake paper gasket.  Also had gas out the overflow, but that stopped after a few good taps on the bowl.

Went for first kick and found it was very, very tight.  It was a hard push all the way through the cycles.  And not so much as a cough.

Checked spark and it was ok.  Replaced the plug anyway.  Still nothing.

End the day stymied!
