Ignore this fuel up because I had to drain and clean the fuel tank. Cleaned and rebuilt the petcock which was clogged. Added reserve filtered nozzle. Took off the carburetors in order to lube the throttle cables. Put everything back together. Added quick disconnect clamp on the negative battery cable. Replaced all bulbs inside the dash. Lubricated the break lever and throttle grip housing. Replaced lever bolts. Brushed off the dirt and stones from the cylinder air cooling fins including hard to reach places. Replaced fuel filter. Cleaned some rust from rear fender.

Noticing that the engine overheated on going long uphill. Need to check for vacuum leaks. I think it might be running a little lean.

First fill-up. The bike works great and looks great. The outside chrome/paint is immaculately kept. Little spots of rust on the swing arm near the shocks. Wheels and spokes are kinda dirty and oxidation is visible, but I cleaned most of it. Chain is ok, but grimy. I cleaned it and oiled it with gear oil. Lots of grime behind the front sprocket cover. Cleaned it. Cables were never oiled and are rusty but don’t bind. Some bolts need to be replaced due to cosmetic rust. Shocks are garbage. Forks were probably never maintained. Engine is Great and Starts on first kick without choke at 23C. Break fluid is great. Breaks are fine. Need to polish off some burnt boots rubber markings from exhaust pipe. Overall super great purchase.
