Giving it a shot. I knew the electrical was going to be an issue but was hoping I'd be able to at least turn it over. Carburetors I at least have some knowledge about--electrical is just a lot of trial and error for me. I'll get it eventually. I'm encouraged by the state of the camshafts.

Get a better one than this one, lol. You're already well onto your way to having a classic.

Thanks man--I may just do that. I'm going to go through the obvious things first to try to find if there's a short. It's very possible that the inside of the throttle side controls that there's corrosion or something causing the problem. I need to lubricate the cables anyway. The starter I should be able to pull off and check as well. Unfortunately just filled it with oil and a new filter--and the filter has to come off in order to do that. Also printed out some instructions on how to test the starter solenoid. There's just a ton of things it could be. Gotta research. Good idea on the fuse panel. Wish it was the same as the VF since I have spares of that, hah. Thanks for the wishes of good luck. I'll get 'er running eventually.

I do have a spare regulator/rectifier that I bought for the VF that can probably work.

Yea unfortunately given my unfamiliarity with this one and the modified electrical... going to be a lot of studying the wiring diagram. Also a lot of replacing, rewrapping, and resoldering conections.

If you lived next door I’d say I would do the wiring for you while you change my fork springs!

@@merfmoto6378 Oh I'd make that trade so quick!
