Snortin!


I'm happy to report that once again I have a Snortin Norton! I finished off the final assembly tonight, added gas and oil, and three kicks later - woohoo!

Overall, everything is working and it sounds and feels pretty healthy. There are some issues though - the carbs are leaking pretty badly at the float bowl gaskets, there's a pretty substantial oil leak somewhere on the cylinder head, and that trick new front brake is not working all that well (old glazed pads maybe?) So, I have to fix those problems before I can start actually riding the bike. Pretty encouraging though!
