Good lord, no. I'd always be reminded of it.

Nope. Not yet for multiple reasons.....like being Mrs. 2LZ schlep for the last four days she was off work. ;-) I've had zero time to mess with it. Hopefully today.

Biggest issue was I had to order a new metal tank for it. The glass tanks won't handle our garbage ethanol fuel without breaking down the glass and sending it thru the system. I could have treated one of them with something but they don't last from what I've read, and it's not cheap, so I just bit the bullet.

Yep, positive ground. I have a new battery coming......

I have found out more interesting things about it. It's not only a 1967, but an early 1967 model. It has the built-in compression release and they only did that until January 1968, according to my Brit Bike forum. Plus, the engine number starts with a "C" as opposed to a "B", signifying the C15 predecessor. So far, it's been a fun research project. I hope it runs someday. ;-)
