I'm not sure which of the 3 key settings it needs to be on or exactly what the 3 way switch on the headlight bucket does. I couldn't get the headlight to come on (which may only when running) or the horn to work

I need to clean the tank and carbs then I'm going to try to get it going.

On the key switch, aft is off, center is on and fwd is park light (tail light on). Key can be removed in the fwd and aft positions. Been to damn long since mine as been out to remember the headlight bucket switch. One of them all lights are on, other is tail and meter lights only, third escapes me at the moment.

Carbs are not going function properly, they are too big, you need to find PW22's

I see the front fender came with it, is it the proper aluminum fender?

Yeah, the fender is the original that they took off for that other hideous thing. The stock one is going back on.

The bike was an almost daily rider before parked, supposedly, so with all the mismatched stuff going on it may be bored out? I don't know for sure but it has those carbs and the 305 exhaust and was running like that :-/

The fuse was checked first thing and multiple times and it was fine.

I was wondering why a couple people where mentioning the 8 hole aluminum original fender hanging on the wall that came with the bike.... Now I know why, I just watched a used one on eBay go for $427.80!!! That's double the amount I paid for the whole bike! (Traded but I only had $250 into the trade)

Other than that, I haven't had much time to work on it. Working a lot of hours at work and I'm hoping to get back at it soon.. Thanks for your guys help!
