So first I would like to thank everyone here who answer questions,linked info and provided help. Its a great community that I would have loved to share a daily update on the build but I opted to just build and be a troll in the background. I did get it finished though. There some things I want to change but for now this is it.
My personal phone still will not let me share pics. I gotta figure this thing out somehow but I used my work phone. So It was an ebay purchase in early 2019. It had a great pain job but other than that she was old and tired. I started rat holing parts with the intent to rebuild it all myself until I start looking into Chuck Q. Im on the west coast and shipped my motor to chuck and had him do a stage 2 with an oil pump. I know.... but I HATED carrying oil around when was younger said F it! whatever happens happens. I have a neighbor that is shipping and got some love there so it wasn't bad.
So the first time I tried to start it only the left cylinder was firing. I noticed that the fuel line was always empty and had to kinda put it to prime. Turns out it was the hose clamp pinched a hole at the carb and was sucking air. After swapping that out it started up halfway through the stroke. Anyways this is just a quick video that was the startup on both cylinders. Nothing special but here it is. I'll post some pics later. Thanks https://youtu.be/TmsJWEDpyxw

Thanks it sounds mean in person. I will get a better video and some pics on here. Yeah thats my nephews 1994 fzr600 in the background. Once covid hit I took in my nephew and son because they had lost their jobs. It was the crazy purple and green version like from the original batman series.
