RED RUNS!!

Started by respraying those couple spots on the tank that had gotten messed up from the petcock fiasco last session.

Did some torquing between coats.

Then installed the tank to the frame and added the petcock.  Fuel wasn't flowing!

But found that as I unscrewed the bowl, gas would flow.  Some kind of vacuum issue?

But took her out on the maiden run!  Felt good but couldn't shift out of first.  Found the clutch starting to get very "crunchy" and hard to engage.  Engine finally stalled out and walked her home.

But other than that, a good first run!

Ivy: Big "E" Tires

First time tire change!  Thought this was a job I'd never want to do DIY, but turns out to be pretty straight-forward.  Watched a YouTube video a half dozen times and it all went to plan.  Supposedly these tiny S90 tires don't require irons to install the tire, but I ended up using it for the last bit, though maybe with more elbow grease you could make without.
