Bike is running like a cheetah. Holy cow. This forum rocks. Made it look easy. I've learned so much from this group. On to the next challenge! Big thumbs up! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Ok. I pulled the spark plug and it pulls smooth. I'll adjust the lash a bit and try again. Thanks again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

This is the what has happened. Thanks. Ps, bike healed my thumb overnight and I was able to reattach it with duct tape. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Removed thumb to save body. Mounted it to front of the Cheeftah. Looks great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Wait... On switch. Gotta turn the gas on. Updates after baby wakes up. I keep the bike next to her crib in her room. That is a joke. The bike sleeps in her crib... Baby in garage. Again... Joke. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So, the threaded screw needs to be adjusted and then the nut on top. Ah... Understand now. Didn't think I moved that screw at all but must have while tightening the nut a bit? Sensitive lil fella. Ok. So, I will remove the valve cover again tomorrow, and adjust the lash. I will use some needle...

Decided to just stop and put it back together with original springs - don't need em yet anyway. OF COURSE, IT WONT START NOW. Why? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

My valves look different than the one in the YouTube videos. Do I set the lash with the top screw? It seems like it's ether tight or loose- no way to set the lash. But I am new to these things.

Thanks! Good advice. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Ah, didn't know the registration issue. Didn't plan on riding it legally anyway! I just want to clean it up, ride it around and enjoy it. - found a "lilhonda" forum to learn more about them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
