Hi.
All is working great. Not any one big thing, but a lot of little things were finally sorted out. As long as the engine was running and was warm, it would run well a long time, but once I shut it down, it would not get going again. The biggest problem was recurring carb fouling with tiny black specks of something. I changed all the fuel lines and added a second filter -after- the fuel pump and it stayed reliable after that.
Arthritis kicked up and I was not able to ride much at all the past month, so a guy offered me a good price for the bike and I sold it today. But, I picked up two other vintage bikes to start restoring! I like working on them more than riding, I guess.
Thanks to all commenters on the forums for their help.
