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.

Bike starts right up...and idles like crap. Give it gas when its cold and will try and bog.
As it warms up, same old dance of idling like crap, give it the gas and bogs, stumbles until it gets past a certain point and then its straight to redline. So lets talk carbs for a second. Lets talk about 16 fucking float bowl screws. 8 of them..removed and chucked to the coffee can of discarded screws. replaced by hex head allen key whatever you want to call them. 5 of the original brass shitsville screws keilin likes to toss on their carbs were put back in. That leaves 3. 3 stripped...and not budging POS shit screws holding on for dear life FUCK MY AFTER NOON IS WASTED BECAUSE TODAY was going to be the day I went to town on the carbs day but damnit my tool collection apparently sucks for fucking stripped out carb screws. One fucked up screw in 3 float bowls. So lets just put it out there that the bike runs like shit because 3 years of sitting has gummed up the carbs....

1. You'll need vise-grips more than likely to get them out, but first, take the screwdriver, put it against the screws, and give it a few sharp whacks with the hammer, then take the vise-grips to the screws. You should have done that first.
2. Go to Sears and get a tool called an impact screwdriver for next time. You should have asked before you screwed stuff up. Rook.  Every project is an excuse to buy tools. You clearly don't have enough.
