Not much time to piddle today, but still a good day.
Footy, I think we have an extremely dirty Chinese replica 350x carb on the old dog. Remember the first one, Saga I had an 88 250X carb on it.
But have no fear!! Straight out of Morristown, TN!!!
This came from a box of parts from a different project, (another one that I have not started on)
I started Saga and ran it for over a minute and then let it die: Saga I needs:
1) valves adjusted
2) sealing washer on the oil line
Then we'll see what else it needs.
I put the Curtie carb on Saga II/Dog and kicked and kicked. It'd pop and want to run but I couldn't keep it going but a few seconds.
I will look at the valves on this one next.
And on a side note, in my down time, I have been working on these two 86 125m's:
The closest one needed a starter and I really didn't want to buy one from eBay. I got the one on it and took it to a very old shop in town, the kind of place where the old man still running it knows how to fix stuff. He fixed my starter for $20!!!
