They both work well. If you don't want to start on one cylinder just remove the cable or adjust it so it does nothing. It will start better on 2 cylinders.The 72 has the compression release lever that also triggers the starter. Does this system work good or would it be better to replace it with a push button?
Thank you.They work fine, when adjusted right which isn't all that hard. The compression release isn't really needed, why it was abandoned after 2 years.
I would like to do #3 but not sure how to fix the title issue, legally. Its a descent original unmolested starter for a build. Would hate to have to put the frame in the trash. I think some of the air in the tires is from Japan. Might have to buy another frame but so far can't find one with a title that's not chopped up. Or sell it as is or keep the good stuff and buy another project bike with a title.im curious if you have made a decision yet about what to do with the bike, my vote was for #3
Do what I want with it and not be concerned with the originality of it.
hoping to see your custom build come about,
Very true. I'll have to do a compression test.Just going to throw this in here, may make a difference to your plans.
Looking at your pics, you might take the "super low" mileage with a grain of salt. Speedo looks much better than tach and appears to be sitting on a bent mount. IE it may have been replaced after a crash. Repaints always raise my antenna about previous damage also. I tend to pull a compression test pretty early on. Part of my wake up drill with top end lube and lots of kicking it through to get the internal parts used to moving again. Hanging a valve on a motor that's set for a long time happens.
Good idea. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I restored a 1980 corvette about 15 years ago. It was a 3 year project so I have some experience with this kind of stuff. It was a low mileage car but I found lots of incorrect stuff. The car got Top Flight from the NCRS first time judged.This has special relevance to me (more on THAT later) but get the forks pointed straight, and sight down from low in front check how the wheels line up......
These early frames are pretty light, not much bracing, doesn't take a lot to "tweak" them in a crash or flop over. Again just things you want to find out BEFORE investing a lot of time, money in a project.
That's nice. I'll sell you the bike then when you get the title back you can sell it to me .here in Oregon, I get titles by hiring a title lein company, they put a lien on the bike for the monetary interst I have in the bike then in 45 or 60 days (cant remember) I get a "poseserary note" from the state, I take that to the dmv and get the title... TADA!
