It's Aliiiiiiivvvvvveeee!!!

BM-V-W is officially a runner again. Since finishing up the carb rebuild I've replaced all the fluids from front to back and temporarily fixed the throttle (until I can find a replacement). The petcock is rebuilt, but the tank isn't flushed out yet and I don't have the petcock-to-tank gasket so I can't put that back on yet. All I did to the bike is clean the points and fill up the bowls on the carbs with gas. I had to hotwire it too because I can't find the key now. Check it out:



Oh, and it blew a plume of rust all over the garage floor from the mufflers.


Still plenty of work to be done. Find key, fix wiring, replace tires, adjust brakes, mount seat... Stay tuned!
