I’m within days of attempting the first start since rebuilding the top end. It’s been a few months since reassembly, so I’m wondering if there’s anything special I should do before I give it first kick. A little oil in cylinders? Carbs were also rebuilt by an old fart, so no worries there. Anything to add to my checklist would be greatly appreciated.
 
I always like to make sure the cam followers and lobes have a decent amount of oil in there, then roll the engine over a few times by hand to get things spinning a little first.
