I've been working on my old Yamaha getting her ready to start. She hasn't run in 15 years.

I've gone through the carbs, and removed the rust from the tank. I also rebuilt the petcock. I figured it would not be an easy process to start her. I was wrong. I gave her some choke and pressed the starter. The old girl started right up immediatly. It didn't turn over for more than a second before it fired up. I couldn't believe it.

I think an old friend was helping me from above.

She need some tweeks, but nothing major. Motor sounds tight. I just have some carb issues to figure out. Seems the longer I ran it the rougher she got. I'll probably have to pull the carbs again because I think some crud got in them.

I'll keep you all updated on the progress.
