Thanks to a few forum members I've made good progress on troubleshooting my 79 Special. The bike runs okay for 10 or so miles then craps out. I'm in the process of rebuilding some BS 38s as the current carbs are vac leaking from every nook and cranny.
It was suggested that lean conditions and high idle due to air leaks could be causing the engine to overheat.
What are some signs that the engine is overheating?
