WOO HOO IT's slimey crud run time! Sunday Pine Bluff WI and Leland, WI Who's going?
This just went up and down the road today, first time on the road in a
long time.
Guy I bought it from "had it running" (uh, barely running, fuel pouring out the carbs) but that was 5 years ago. When my 79's engine bit the big one a month ago this was my "closest to running" project. I had done a lot to it last winter. oil, filters, full carb overhaul with throttle shaft seals, cables, cleaning, master cylinder overhaul, yadda, yadda, yadda. So I got it up on the lift, charged the battery, put the test tank on and vroom vroom it fired up. ALL the electrics working! Just overhauled the front caliper and got hard lever, ran it up and down the road, two thumbs up, sounds good! Now gotta get some petcocks on the tank, see if it holds fuel ( a common problem on 73 tanks is a leaky rear seam) hope like heck the seat I bought off jsedacca makes it here before Sunday and I still have the usual long list of todo's to get done.
Weather isn't going to be great Sunday, high in the 50's rain should end by morning, but we have had an awesome run of fall weather here that had to end sometime.
So, get your butts (and bikes) out there! Post here that you are coming so you are "more committed" to going!
