Default She's alive!
Useless post without pics, but after sitting all winter she kicked right off. The Dyna ignition made a huge difference in starting and smoothness. Turned the fuel on, pulled the choke, and one turn and she fired. I did not get to ride or take pics yet, hurt my back digging a trench. I am taking Friday off for a ride and pics of "Oprah" will be posted.

TD, I added a little Seafoam to the fuel.
