Yes, we did get it to fire off but it wouldn't idle or run right as it sat. We swapped out a carb, fiddled with it a bit and messed with the timing and it ran strong. Then we tore the engine down to checking and a rebuild. The top had been off before, but it is possible the cases might not have been split since new.
Should make a great ride for the Motorcycle Cannonball in a few months.Buzz Kanter

Buzz....Thanks for posting the video. I sold my freshly and very correctly restored 15 shortly before the Cannonball announcement and have been in a funk since about it. May have a part or two laying around if you need anything to keep it on the road this fall.
All The Best
