Rebuilt the carbs, added small pods, installed a new coil, charged the new battery, sparky sparked.
 Came to me with broken bars.
Re-ran all the wiring.
Trying to decide whether I work with the crap I have or do a complete rewire and spend more time customizing and have more fun with the rebuild....

CB175 Start.

Crazy day...

I was hoping to have this started by the end of today but some unexpected good things happened...
Start.
 Cute.
Somebody drained the float bowls for me years ago.
And...they don't sink.
Ready for re-assembly tomorrow.
 This has been in my back yard forever.

A "Can't sleep" idea popped into my head.
Get outttta here.
Can't you hear or see I have a saw??
