I completed this step again last night right before......

I did this step.

I woke up this morning with some brake!! I bled each side one time, tied the lever again and proceded to put the nacelle back together, new battery installed, mink oil on the seat and installed, chrome engine bolt covers installed. Plugs looked OK, still running a bit rich it seems. Then noticed saddle bag latch, Top Part on P.I. was loose, trying to epoxy it back on. Fired up the engine, Sounded good. shut her down. ...Whew....Waiting on the test ride.
