I'm going to keep this short, but have to admit to owning the 1994 Connie for three years now! I'm nowhere near as far along on the restoration as I thought I would be. Fortunately my 86 had kept running well, so my plan to retire it at 100k was able to be pushed back. Now my plan is to get at least 100K more miles on it than the 94 has before the registration expires at the end of April.
By then I should have all the bodywork on the 94 ready to be repainted, and take it off it's PNO as soon as DMV sends me the paperwork, but effective in July when it's due to minimize fees. Since I also have a Harley, I will have a legal bike to ride while "swapping" Connie parts and awaiting the new registration for the 1994.
I tried starting it this weekend, but what little gas it has is stale. It fired on starting fluid but didn't run. I'll probably get a gallon of fuel and see what I can do to get it running, but I sure don't want to pull the carbs any earlier than I have to! What a PITA it is getting Connie carbs in and out!
