I just started my Honda Dream CA77 for the 1st time in possibly decades too. What a pain in the arse! After rebuilding the carb, new points & condenser and NO fire we finally deduced that the spark plugs, though new looking, had burnt cores and weren't passing the spark. AutoZone miraculously had two dusty and faded boxed NGK plugs; installed them and Voila! Started in one kick. I can't wait to park it next to lame $20K Harleys! PS: your crazy "success" face should be trademarked.

haha, you don't look crazy at all!
good to hear that engine turn over. I'm sure we all feel slightly like mad scientists when we are able to bring these 1960's corpses back to life.
