Hey guys just a little update, long week/weekend. But I installed a new starter and fixed the oil leak at the rear push rod tube. Threw in the battery and after a couple of cranks and some idle mixture tuning. Got it running decent enough for now. Thanks for the help so far. Still want it running a little better and it needs a few more miscellaneous things. My Yuasa battery it’s calling it quits right now after 3 years, need to charge it a while before every start and I’ve always had it on a tender.

Looking to see what batteries you guys run/recommend
