Finally Finished

The 1966 Yamaha YM1 is finally back together and running right.After fooling with the carbs I decided to totally rebuild them and that did the trick.No more problems for this bike and now she runs like a top.
Yesterday was a beautiful day here in New York so I went out riding on my BMW K 100 . I needed a break from working on the little Yamaha because the day before I must have had those carbs on and odd  twenty times before finally just rebuilding them with all new internals . So I rode. When I returned home I set the float heights on both the carbs ,put them back on the bike,hooked up the air filter , and put gas in the tank.  I turned the key to on , gave it one kick and she fired right up and ran  
 as she should ! I love it when it finally works out after having to fight with it.Today is a rainy day so I can't take her out and ride her but the forecast for tomorrow is sunny with temps in the mid 40's F so you know what I'll be doing .
