If the bike is stock air filter/pipe/jets, you dont really need to check plug condition - but if it has changed and you dont have a known combo of filter/pipe/jets to work from you'll need a stack of plugs to read from.  Glad its coming together!

Yea, I started thinking over the whole "is it rich/is it lean thing?" and basically the whole internet just says "Put oil & gas in it and just don't jump it. It will never break". Soooo, with that attitude I'm gonna say #yolo and just send it. Basically took Friday night to pull the rear wheel, scrub the hell out of everything with brake clean,etc. Cleaned the chain the best I could and got the tension set. A lot of the gunk comes off really easily. I also cleaned, inspected, and adjusted the rear brake drums. I'll probably bleed the front brake tonight. The stopping power is atrocious. 

Also go a little bored and mocked some side panels out of cardboard. I'll probably need access to a welder to fab up some mounting tabs, but it will be nice to have it covered up when that is done. 

List is getting shorter:

1) Check plug condition to determine lean vs rich mixture
2) Adjust idle/mixture
3) Bleed front brake and replace fluid
4) Inspect/clean/adjust rear drum brake
5) Repack rear wheel bearings
6) Clean/lube/adjust chain
7) Replace misc. missing nuts/bolts
8) Install airbox
9) Figure out some sort of side panel replacement

Need to run to Lowe's this week to grab all the missing bolts and stuff. I've been inventorying ones that I need. It's still a little finicky starting, but got it kicked over on Friday and rode her around the neighborhood a bit. Can you say 1st gear power wheelies? I swapped the old float and needle in and no longer getting a fluid dumping out of it. 

@RJ - Power is hesitant/sluggish at idle - 1/4 throttle and then the power really comes on. Thoughts? It seems like it's running rich as the cause. That's why I want to check the plug.
