Got started on my 72 . I haven’t used the work shop in nearly a year. Tools mysteriously migrated or disappeared. The lighting needs a lot to be desired. Time for a trip to Menards.
Plan is to get the engine running and go from there. Wheel and steering bearings seem ok. Gas tank was lined with epoxy sealer on is starting to flake off. Oil drain plug does not want to come off.
Plan of attack is to change the oil, set the valve and cam chain tension, and check the timing.
Pull the carbs and clean them, put everything together and see if it runs.
I really like the air filter housings and metal side covers.
I will be busy and probably won’t get back to it for a few days. Going to be a fun and educational project!
