1978-1979 ideally but open to other years. Please contact me with pictures and your asking price. I will immediately update this post once I buy a bike.
So next question... I was considering replacing the intake manifolds. I ordered a pair from Georgefix on eBay but I think I got the wrong size. Does anyone know the correct diameter for the side facing the carbs?
I'm thinking pilot or mixture screws.
Does any one happen to know all the stock jet sizes for my 1979? If I pull the carbs again then I'm planning to go all new as long as they are apart.
Le sigh. The bike runs great in the down position. Revs freely and idles at 1,000 rpm's. But if I pull the lever upwards... she dies after a bit. Thoughts?
I finally got the bike running today. I changed both oil filters and the oil as well as the points.
Still a lot to do but at least I have proof of life.
Question about my choke though... is the down position on the choke lever "off"?
