Hi from Utah!

Postby adr3naline » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:51 pm

Hey! I thought I'd better show off my project! I got this bike for free a couple weeks ago when I asked some of my students if they had any bikes laying around. One student says, "yes, in fact, you can have it if you come get it." So, here she is!

So far I've just been doing everything I can to get her to fire up. I've narrowed it down to cleaning the carbs, and finalizing my compression tests (did it with the throttle closed the first time). I had to do some electrical work to get it to crank. But I'm very excited about this project!

Hi, A clean fuel tank and carburetors are essential, along with a good grounding.I hope that the reading of the second compression test will be successful.Keep the attitude. :D

At least you provided one good reason to have students... :lol:

Looks like a 1979 with cut rear frame and moreover like a lot of work.
