Well she lives and is running. After running through the checklist Ryan came home and we started tackling electrical. Pulled the ignition coil, cleaned up the contacts, and got super confused with the multi-meter. The readings were all over the place. The ohm resistance was spot on for the spark plug cap. The ignition coil was another story. Was convinced I was going to have to buy an expensive ass "new used" part. After buttoning it back up it literally fired on the first kick. Unbelievable.
Ran it on the Deer park "aux" tank and it idled and ran!
Observations:
1) The idle screw barely makes much difference in the idle. Either it's high or it's not high and running
2) When we pulled it in, the carb overflow tube dumped a nice amount of gas on the ground
3) While the throttle and clutch needs to be adjusted, it has some serious hesitation/bogging at the low end on 1/4 throttle and then picks up with immense speed.
I think the float is still allowing too much fuel in which would explain the the overflow and the hesitation down low (too rich). Now that it is running I am going to swap in the old float and needle and see what happens.
Other essential things to do:
0) Seal inside of gas tank with POR-15
1) Adjust throttle
2) Adjust clutch
3) Change trans oil
4) Inspect and adjust drums
5) Grease rear wheel bearings
7) Bleed brakes (it takes a lot of braking power to slow her down)
8) Replace chain & sprocket
