Gary's number is 747-257-5129 as Jspooner wrote.

He's still making pipes, 73 years old it takes him awhile (months). If you want pipes fast, you might want to check with others.

Gary's work is excellent.

Thanks for the info!  2024 MotoGP was so fun to watch.  I wish Yamaha would get Quartararo on a better machine to get the Japanese manufacturers into contention again.

Pecco pulled of an excellent win this past weekend, after crashing out on Saturday.  It's an exciting season.

I'm also happy to see that Quartaro is improving. Ever since he won the championship a few years back, it seems his Yamaha was not competitive. Apparently Yamaha is making improvements.

Most adult Americans have a bit of extra weight. Save money, cut down on the Big Macs instead of buying lighter parts.

Scott Zupner has H2's and RD's, lives in Kihei.  He hasn't been riding much, if you see a '72 or '75 H2 on the road, wave and maybe you can meet up with him.

I like Gary, if you're in a hurry you might want to try somewhere else.

Quote from: RDnuTZ on August 17, 2024, 10:25:01 AMDon't waste your time attempting fixing this, it shouldn't be hard to find another carb body.
I agree!

My most recently acquired RD had a fine layer of rust at the bottom of the tank. The rust blocked the petcock and resulted in stalling of the bike multiple times.  Maybe blockage of the petcock inside the tank is causing the large air pockets in your fuel lines.

I'm guessing that your tire pressure was low.  Not worth fixing and I'm pretty sure that a Daytona wheel won't fit a '76 unless mods are done.  Brakes and swingarm are different.
