Picked up another battery, generic Honda Motorsport brand. Put it on tender for couple hours and just popped it in bike. Cranks over like a champ. On to next items...

The good news - It runs.
Ran it a pretty high mix of seafoam and gas through it so it ran like crap and was a bit of smoke show but it will run. Few screws on the floatbowls have shot heads so haven't opened it up for a thorough cleaning. Will need to take care of that. Who ever buys it will need to balance the carbs since I don't have anything to do it with it and I've never done it myself.

Some shots sans bodywork

Getting tired of stepping over body work in the basement. Mights as well mount a couple of pieces to get them out of the way.

Think I've found the naughty cylinder.

Its actually running a bit better today.
Instead of sounding like its idling on 2 it sounds like it's idling on 3.

It would normally do this every season. It would take about 2 tanks of fresh fuel + techron before it cleared its throat.
