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!
