Thanks fellas. I want to say this as carefully as possible, but it is under a leak test right now and nothing is leaking yet.

Shhhhhhhhhh.......

Dude.... Don't say it

Ok, did a leak check for 30 minutes. Found a very small, unrelated leak that is very simple to fix and is probably only a result of me not being thorough enough. That will be fixed in the morning and then I will begin the, gulp, reassembly. Putting the carbs back on the bike is the worst part of the entire job. However, when I get that done, I will put it back for sale and hope for the best. Last time I checked, the black S-10 in Ft. Worth is still available.

Well the black s10 sold...less pressure to hurry on the bike now.

Have you had anymore bites on the bike?

No, but that is because I took it off of CL until it is 100% ride-able again.

Update:

I re-installed the carbs yesterday as well as enough of the overall assembly to start and run the bike. I filled the fuel tank to about 3/4 full, set it on reserve, and after a little bit of trying (I'm assuming because the carbs were dry) the bike fired right up. I let it sit and run for about five minutes and I no longer APPEAR to have a fuel leak. I capitalize the word "appear" because I am very reluctant to say anything is "fixed" on this bike as it seems to take that as a challenge. I am going to replace the fuel line from the tank petcock to the auto petcock as it appears fatigued and the last thing I need is another leaking part. I ordered it from CCP this morning so hopefully I'll be on the road again this week some time.

On a side note...I was so nervous putting fuel to the carbs for the first time that my hands were literally shaking. I think it was the fear of what I may do to the bike if it began to leak again.
