Well boys & girls, after changing out the engine with the one I bought from ReVision, & lots of work (and TONS still yet to do,

Kittys Vision will live to ride again!

filled the coolant, Oil, double checked a few things, and after 45 miniutes of cranking, bitching, backfiring, frontfiring, tweaking, spraying, jumping, coughing, wheasing...

she finally came to life, a little at a time...  :D ;D

synqued & set the pilots & she runs pretty smooth!

and, don't try this at home kiddies: she charges at 14V, even though I broke a cardnal rule & jumped it off my running van (in desperation)

lots & lots to do before spring time, but i now have a warmable carport to do it in.

So why all the cranking, what turned out to be the problem?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

NOT QUITE SURE, SHE'S STILL HARD TO START STONE COLD, BUT ONCE IT'S WARM, ONE TOUCH OF THE BUTTON.  COULD BE DIRTY CARBS (BEEN SITTIN ALL SUMMER) oops, sorry! or valve adjustment or a vaccume leak or...  still needs sorting out...
