Thank god I can rely on the forum! It just reminds me how dumb I am at times when I forget things.

I managed to ride a few miles today and pickup a part from the auto parts store. And since I finally fixed my daily driver I decied to do the smog mod. I cut the sheet metal placed it with hi temp sealent and ground down the back of the plate were the tube stuck out. When that was all done moved the ignition and while moving the tank I shut off the gas. Afterwards I did go through and checked the clips and re-attached everything. Then after everything was put back together I started the engine. Because it was cold I choked. Then put to the second choke setting and got what I call back fire but white smoke coming from the air filter. I get it to run seconds at the time And continue attempting to starting killing the battery. In the end I killed the battery and couldn't get it to stay running. So I decieded to put it away.

I read Googbar's post about the tank when I came in and the light shined over head. I ran out to the shed and opened the gas valve. She stated right up! ;-) my dumb moment. But I think next week ill check the valve clearance ans I don't under stand why she still back fires.
