Welcome aboard Bruce! I think you will find quite a few K5 enthusiasts here. After you get your 10 post, you can then post some pictures of your new ride :-D

 Welcome Bruce,
 There is lot's of stuff to sift through.
  One of the first questions is usually is the Kips valve operating properly,
(You've already addressed reeds), jetting,fuel/oil ratio etc. Several of us have gotten "lo Hours" bikes and ended up going through the same scenario you are.   Have patience Grass Hoppa...
 Enjoy the Ride!
