As of yesterday evening, there's one more running 350 GTR.
Sounded great after about 36 years of silence.
Finally got my left cylinder back from getting a broken fin corner welded on. After assembling the left piston, cylinder and head, and last adjustments to the oil pump and carbs, it fired right up. Wonderful to hear the low rumbling burble and even the rattling clutch brings back lots of good memories.
Couldn't take it for a spin yet, as I'm still waiting for a new battery. It's still tethered by wires to a big spare battery, but it idles, takes throttle, and even shifts through the gears on the center stand. I can hardly wait for the battery!
I owe a huge thank you to all the contributors on this site, and especially to Richard, Kevin and Steve for their parts, advice and encouragement.
