Stella first start

I helped a buddy get his Stella rebuilt and after a solid wrenching session, we had it back in the bike and ready to roll, with one exception...he'd left gas in the tank long enough to go bad, so we had to use an external fuel source. It was late, we were hot and tired, but wanted to see it turn over, so I went with the "just squirt premix into the carb throat" method. Not exactly something to use for tuning the carb, but it let us confirm the build was good.
He's now running a BGM177, Worb5 flowed crank, and polini box. The cases, reed, and carb are all still stock, autolube in place.
I fully expect he'll have a solid everyday rider that should keep him going for at least a few years and hit 60-65 without too much work.
