picked this up today. its running but ruff! the tank is so rusted inside but savable. carbs will need cleaned too. im making it a cafe which will be a challenge with the way the frame dips but i think i can make a good solo cowl with the seat pan thats on it. its a shame too because the seat that is on it is beautiful and nearly flawless

Well I got the bike running
without the choke having to be on just by cleaning out my tank. But the carbs are leaking gas bad now so I think my floats are sticking because i haven't cleaned The carbs but I looked in there and they were bad. Not with gum but it had rusty gas running in them. And the rubber things in-between carbs 1&2 and 2&3 were dry rotted off

Ok I cleaned the tank and carbs really well and guess what?! After about 15 minutes it fired up and ran well. I think it's running rich though. But now I have to get the other things fixed. First thing is first new tires that aren't cracked to hell
