I finally got my WM20 started. It is smoking like Willie Nelson backstage at a Snoop Dogg concert from all the marvel mystery oil that I had soaked the head and barrel with. It started leaking fuel pretty badly, but I did get about a 100 yard ride in.



I've got a few bugs still to work out.

I don't have much free time to spend on the bike, so it was a long road. I really appreciate all the guidance and encouragement here over the past couple of years!


Thanks!

Good stuff Kevin!

Like the way the bike looks a lot.
Be patient with the bugs, you'll sort it out.
I would start worrying when a British bike stops leaking....

What a feeling when they first roar to life!

Well done, it looks quite proper and "period". I hope to be to that stage soon, and will try to post video also. Now your fun just begins!

Awesome and inspiring!!!

Would you send me a copy of that file? I love to hear the sound of it
so I want to keep it handy.

Also, I'm writing a book about restoring these, and it would make a great
chapter for it.... "First Rides"

Thanks everyone!

Robb- I'll send you a copy of that file later today when I get home.

I gotta find a good magneto advance lever. I also need to find some fuel tap gaskets. I need 3/8" ID with 5/8" OD. Oh, and there's the tail light issues, the grounding issue to the handlebar, the sidestand that still allows the bike too far over, the primary's leaking yadda yadda...
