Hey guys. I tried searching but only came up with a few irrelevant searches for this.
My bike has been out of commission for a couple months now anyway, and i never really thought about it before, but....
my bike was always fussy when i'd ride in the summer. like, if i'd be out on a ride and had to stop for gas, she wouldn't start again until i sat for a good 10/15 minutes and let her cool down a bit. is this normal? i always figured that it was just a common problem problem with aircooled bikes riding in warm weather. but from the reading i've done recently, these bikes are apparently relatively reliable, even in hot weather.
i figured i'd ask you folks - should i have been worried about my bike getting this hot in the summer? if so, what are common problems associated with these bikes overheating? what should i look for to help diagnose my problem (if it's a problem at all?)
thanks guys. btw, it's a 78. bs38's. open dragpipes. forgot the jetting offhand. not looking for an exact diagnosis, of course - just looking for some hypotheticals
