I’ve been doing all the piddly stuff - choke and gas pedal, finished the brake lines and ready to bleed, and made a heat shield since the carb has to be mounted so close to the intake/exhaust manifold. Now I have to rebuild the cheap carb I have...
In case any has an interest… they are packs of 10. Come in 20lb and 44lb hold power. Same plastic adhesive but a thicker metal hook. I stuck one on the back door glass of the house for a wreath at Christmas time 18 months ago..still there, non...

Paint makes all the difference, adding doors doesn’t hurt.

Engine is cleaned up and back together.
