81 MX175 is alive! was created by Yesteryear

A follow up on the restoration and initial start failure.

After alot of work on the MX175 it’s finally running.
Issue why it wouldn’t run seems to be carb float level.
At the 21mm float adjustment, it would dump fuel through the overflow and I believe just flooded the engine. I had to build a bottom fuel “site gauge” to get the proper fuel level in the bowl.
Seems to run great now but I have about 24mm of float adjustment.. so be it.
