Hey bud your tank came stock with self adhering emblems no screws or mounting tabs

81 Special and Venturer along with the XJ(Maxim) came new with the wrinkle finish black valve cover.

FWIW, I've never removed the 'peen' from the throttle plate screws when removing them. I've only had one break off, and that one broke without even loosening up. They will turn out a bit hard, but not that hard and I've even reused them with no issues. I do put some locktite on when reinstalling though...

I don't know, maybe a little screw bouncing around in the combustion chamber could clean out the carbon build-up. (kidding)

I thought that the guy got carried away with the spray paint but it seems like it is more original than I thought. I thought that my buckhorn handlebars were added but found out that they were standard on some H models. I have learned allot about this bike thanks to the forum.

Butterfly Seals

Just realized that I soaked the carb units in cleaner and may have compromised the butterfly seals. I am going to swap them out. Can I assume that there are 8 seals per carb? The parts diagram shows only one.

2 shaft seals per carb, 8 per bank of 4 carbs

Butterfly screw blues

I manged to release one butterfly but bogged down on the second. Screw stripped even after filing the underside. I knew it wouldn't be easy.
