Finally driven!

... The bad first. I still have the small oil leak out of the flywheel. This I originally attributed to crankcase pressure and the lack of a breather box... Wrongish. as it cannot hurt to run a breather, but still needs a new flywheel seal. The first red flywheel seal to give me any through at all... Unless it is something else which would be very disturbing.

... The clutch disk is slipping again. Long story here. But my fault totally.

At first the A/F ratio was 16:1 which really sucked. So a little tweaking and I fattened her up... Need to check the actual A/F ratio later.

The good is that it revs up nicely! I hit 5K like it was nothing... But it should slow down after that anyway with only a E100 equivalent cam.

Even with the issues I am takig it camping tomorrow
