Everstart ES14LA2 battery worked for this bike.
I also reconnected throttle cables, and right grip in prep to try to start the bike.
Cleaned chain briefly, not fully, but enough to get some chain lube on to prevent further rusting, etc.
I think I can get some money for these +6 Chopper style fork tubes. Still searching for a standard set cheap, found places that will sell new, Forks by Frank.
Charged up battery, hooked it up
Working:
- Horn
- Neutral light
- High beam light
- Low beam light
- oil pressure light
- Starter button
- Turn signal indicator
- Clutch lever broken, so it will sense clutch switch open
Hot wired, and it tried to crank, decent sign, since no gas I was just seeing if the pistons would move, and the start engine would work. Could here the pistons moving, so that is good.
Carbs
The carbs are gunked up in the bowls, floats are all stuck. Andrew helped me remove the whole carb unit. I need to read up on cleaning and overhaul kits. It took a bunch of pentrating oil and some presuasion to get these off.
