She's Alive

Finally finished thursday but didn't have time to fire her til today. Ah what difference a fresh top end makes.
Just warmed her up really good and did two easy laps around the hood, retorqued the head bolts, dicked around with the head stay, because of a one mm change to the swingarm spacers moved the motor a mm to the right. Thanks AJ. AJ says that even Honda isn't very consistant as to motor / swingarm mounting. Problem is T2 can't be gotten a hold of to figure what year/model they used for spacers. T2 had 55/58mm SH uses 54/59 from a 03 CR125. Oops the cats out of the bag.......
Anyway is off to Milestone MX in the morning. Hopefully I can get there early enough to catch Phil there and get a couple of pics.
More to follow......

well it turned over nicely. Thought maybe it jumped time but discovered the pole piece in the distributor cap had rusted a part. Still don't know if I have to R&R the whole dist. or just the pole piece. $125 later new dist, module, rotor and cap. Still didn't make it.
