Hi,
I have rescued this bike from a front lawn. After getting it running and letting it limber up I tried to shut it off.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
lucky for me I had it on an IV tank and could let it run. Seems to me its pissed off at having to sit for so long and is making up for it by not turning off on command. Key has no effect, run stop switch has no effect. pulling coil leads has effect but is a little ghetto when pulling up to the pumps.
Also, have need of one fuel bowl and float. One of my bowls was cracked. I TIG'ed it up for the time being but it will need a new one to be puffy all ways round. Also, has semi pronounced backfire thru carbs going from off idle to midrange. Falls on its face before it flys. It's a little unpredicatable...
Any help would be well apreciated.
Regards,
John
