The end of the works is near but i want to check the engine start.
So,i take the fuel tank of xr600 and i connect a pipe between the tank and the carburator.
First of everything,I put 1,5 liters of oil  directly in the engine and 2 liters in the oil tank.
I wanted to test the oil bulb and during this,I checked the oil bulb and so i was be able to connect a provisory battery.
In this video you can see the first engine start.


Prima accensione four750 k0

The next steps are the carburators balance and  the check of carburation

I would ask some information about brake master cylinder.
So, I been able to anodizing the front master cylinder, and check the correct function.
The verification was successful.
So, after 4 days of stop, i checked if all is ok.
But I saw a little oil leak under the brake master cylinder.

"Before to reassembly, i have polished the hole".

So, I would to know if someone has done experiments about boring of brake master cylinder.

I appreciate your comments

Ciao amici.

Attention because if I see other reply in italian language, I start with many training.

So, I'm very sorry, because my english is not perfect and sometime I must to ask to my son if the tranlation is correct.
I can make a training, but really I have few time and I would to start with another restoring.

I bought an Xr600 1986  the restore is a disease for the brain :) But I love it

I think that my k0 restoring is nice but I have a little dream, I must to change the seat.

P.s.
I seen on ebay that american seller sells this seat.

I understand if this item is made by Yamiya.
What do you think?
