Want to give a shout out to @24ouncepbr for schooling me on Tillotson carbs yesterday! They seem strange and daunting to deal with but after a total tear down they’re quite simple. (Just need to be aware of their quirks) I was also shown how to make a tickler out of a nail for the diaphragm to make for easier starting. (I may have taken it a few steps further and Calvinized it...) Can’t wait to see what it does! It worked fine on the original bike so why not this one?! Few more odds and ends to do and we can actually fire this thing up for the first time.
