Nice bike (NG open valve till 1937), scared the black cat, but sounds ok. Small tip, when starting the NG, leave the oil cap off and check if the oil is dripling through (pump ok) insde the tank, flood the carb & one kick in TDC, it should start, close cap and off you go & enjoy your ride.
We might be waiting for some time, as I tried to take it up and down the lane, but as soon as I put it in gear it became apparent the gearbox and clutch will probably need stripping right down as it was completely nasty, grinding and grating and not wanting to stop with the clutch pulled right in!
Great looking bike looks almost new despite its age
What a lovely bike, well done for getting it running. I'm looking forward to your test ride.
Thanks, but the test ride might be some time away [see my reply to another comment].

There were issues with the lubrication system [see my other video].

Waiting with bated breath for the test ride.
