So… that didn’t last very long…

Veni, vidi, vici: I came, I saw, I conquered.
The little 150 has moved along to a new owner, although not far and not really out of my life. And I can’t even really say I sold it, as in the end, I just… signed the title over. They needed it, so there you have it. There will be enough expenses in getting it registered, insurance etc, and I basically fleeced the guy when I bought it, so…
Status of the bike is, up and running fairly well. Starting it still sucks. Carb needs to be cleaned, it sure seems. I had hoped that better adjusting it would help but… that doesn’t seem to be enough to really make the difference. I am guessing previous owner(s) weren’t doing her right with gas.
Rounded up all of the missing parts I could - covers, bulbs, etc. addressed electrical, etc. Even rounded up some extra tires. Wired in trickle charger. Have stuff coming in to wire in some X-Arc signals I have had laying around - reduce electrical load as a start, before the new owner has a chance to sort out replacing the battery with something better.
I ginned up something to secure the gas tank to the frame. No
