Well I'm giving him as much info as I can. It seems that the one rod on the carb linkage that I thought I had, I didn't so we had to fabricate one. It works. I am now looking for a set of air cleaners. I have seen a couple, but no batwing, they are just to bloody expensive. We are getting close to cranking it over and see what happens. It also appears that I was sold a bill of goods on the engine rebuild. My mechanic listened to what I had to say about what happened and he told me the only way that it could happen that way was for the engine to be out of time. I might have gotten away with doing just the heads. Oh well no sense in having second thoughts now, what's done is done. What really is shame is that I will not get the chance to get any enjoyment out of it. As soon as it is running, I will have to sell it.
