It runs!
i pulled the plugs and they looked damaged from hitting the piston or something so i drilled out washers to fit them and tada a few milimeters made all the difference.
She runs like a champ. I took her around the block once or twice and all the gears work. The transmission is stiff which is normal by all accounts ive heard on this bike. On my second victory lap the old back tire's tube gave out and i had to push my new ride home though. It's only normal that my triumph is tinged with a little embarrassment, that's the way this whole restoration has gone.
New tubes are gonna be the last thing i get and then i suppose ill try to unload it on some vintage bike aficionado.
