I've been playing g a lot with small displacement for the last few years after having had a triple 400 2 stroke kawasaki and an xs 650 and 1100 in the past
The wife found this the other day for a heck of a deal it's an 82 or 83 we are waiting on the title. She needs a bit of work the old owners said it was flooding out on 1 cyl the front brake is in op and it didn't have a battery. The battery came yesterday filled it and charged it but all it did was click. I pulled the starter hooked it to a good car battery and nothing. Took it apart and cleaned it now it turns pretty good hooked to a car battery. Ill put it back in tomorrow and give it a try. I've pulled the carbs apart and did a quick cleaning found the right carb had crap keeping the float needle from closing and the jets plugged from sitting. I need to grab some new plugs right side was black as can be from running pig rich and the left side looked lean. I have a spare caliper I picked up and a spare set of carbs to rebuild now I just need to get a decent master if the starter works
