After a fair amount of work, I feel I now have a reliable rider thanks to RTFM and support from the knowledgeable people on this forum. Many thanks! Enjoyed a day of unusual warmth in PA, got lost in 2 stroke bliss and ran out of gas, lol. Pushed to side of road, switched to reserve and it took a bit, but lit back up. Off to get a small amount of E10 to get me to a station with E0. Got a few stares traveling along, especially when kickstarting it. Not many functioning kick start bikes these days. Looking forward to spring and hitting some vintage events!

Resting at the top of Peter's Mountain.


Whoops, wrong brand, lol.


White wire provides more charge, switched to that since my battery seemed to run down on the green wire.

Congratulations!! 

(Just FYI, the wire swap only makes a difference when running the bike in "daytime" mode (headlight off). When headlight is on, battery charge comes from green/red wire.  So if battery is still going low and you're riding with headlight on, check the output of the green/red)
