I got my NOS piston, ring, and head gasket in the mail this morning from 
http://www.scramblercycle.com/.  So of course I immediately had to get them fitted to the bike.  I still wasn't having much luck getting it to start, so I pondered.  The carb sits at quite an angle on this bike, so I thought I might need to raise the float level up a little.  I ended up going a bit too far, as it leaked out the overflow tube.  But at least I knew it had plenty of fuel.  
So I gave it a kick:
It fired right up and idle on the choke.  After a few seconds it came off the choke and revved clean.  Hell yeah!  I still need to fiddle with the float level, and then I can run it down the road.
