Hey fellers
I'd like to Harness the collective ears of the forum to listen in to the sound of my top end and starter, and to perhaps provide your Point of View on the health of my engine by replying to the POLL.
I bought this baby in April and just got it started after doing the basic work suggested. It will not be road ready for a while - master cylinder is unsafe at any speed at the moment and I am replacing the front end.
But, I'd like to avoid a teardown on the engine if possible, and it sure sounds like a strong running engine to me - but I'm totally inexperienced in diagnosing an engine based on how an engine sounds.
This is a Youtube clip of the engine running at idle as well as with throttle:
This is a clip of starting the engine with the electric start and top end noise: is my starter on the way out, too much engine noise or just right for a 1982? Replacing / repairing the starter doesn't require an engine tear down of course.
I know that it may be a stretch to really provide a clear diagnosis just listening to a video, but thought it would be sort of fun to try I think this interweb thing is going to really catch on
