[QUOTE="raven11, post: 1342639, member: 104616"] Actually, jetting and engine reworking may be an issue here. I was told the bike was used to ice race up in Michigan. So there truly is no telling what has been done to this bike. All I can say is that it runs OK at low rpms, sputtery in the mid range, and very strong in the high rpms. It won't idle well at all and it's a pretty heavy smoker with the oil residue previously described. My brother says it's hard to ride behind me because of the smell of fumes and smoke. The bike looks great however. I discovered an inexpensive painting method that appears to be working. I've painted the tank with it and after two weeks the paint has yet to peel or bubble as so often is the case when painting these old plastic tanks. I'll be sharing it soon on here as well as a link to a video I'm making describing how I did it. I want to wait and make sure it holds before I start touting success. Thanks for all the help and input on this bike guys. [/QUOTE]
