Kind of an update of sorts. After closer inspection of the oil tank that came with the bike, it's really rough. The threads for all the bungs are crap and cross threaded. And the dude put checker board duct tape on the tank as a "cool custom feature". Which now has the glue almost permanently affixed in a mess to the tank body.
I gave up on it. Will deal with that tank on the next build. Maybe blast it down to bare metal and retap all the threads. Pain.
Found a good deal on a brand new CDC tank. Ordered it. Came. Fits. Good to go.
Now working on finishing the carb rebuild and rework of oil lines, and mounting the new tank. Once I get all that wrapped I'll be able to take some better photos and test run the bike again. More to come.
