Update- the bike fired up after the usual tinkering and replacing a few basic parts. Just fired it on starting fluid to see if she would fire. Like the true Survivor I thought this bike was, it fired on both barrels and sound good, if even for a second or two. Tomorrow I'll fill the carbs- borrowed from the "$500 Cafe Project" and get her on a bottle (tank is soaking now). Tomorrow I'll post video of her first good run in at least 10 years. The PO had said all along there was only spark in one cylinder (turns out right side coil was bad/replaced with on hand parts). Bike was last registered in 1987, so maybe it hasn't run in 25 or 26 years. I'll report back with more tomorrow.
