Okay, for those of you that have been following my project,
i figured out my petcock has to have a manual prime (maybe),
but i got her running. sounds real nice overall. a noise in the top of the engine at high rpm which im going to let happen for now. nothing alarming though, but definitely sounds like something is amiss.
now i seem to have a problem with the battery dying. i got it running nice with some idle screw adjustments and i was practicing letting the clutch out and gliding into first (its my first bike and i havent ridden in over 5 years, and when i did it was brief). however, after a bunch of stalls my bike wouldnt start or honk anymore. obvious power failure. display lights going dim, etc.
but i just bought a new regulator/rectifier for the bike.
Is it definitely the stator? is there a simple way to test the stator/alternator wiithout taking the bike apart in a sense?
another issue is: i just replaced the rear master cylinder. the brake works but only after like 5-10 pumps. i'm thinking i didnt bleed it enough. sound right? the lines were at least half empty when i put it on since the old one had been sitting off the bike (not good for the longevity of the other parts i know)
