Im so stoked i was able to finally get my hands on one of these. this came out of japan, recently, out of a collection.
Admittedly, I do not have a LOT of knowledge on these, but I'll figure it out.
for now, it need the tank cleaned and lined, it has a pretty wicked seam leak at the LH lower corner, not surprising. Def needs some other things immediately:
fork seals
carbs cleaned
petcock rebuild or replaced.
coil remounted
brakes serviced (they are a bit sticky)
and probably a chain, tires aren't old surprisingly
I did get it fire up a bit, or at least fire off here and there but the carbs are, for sure, clogged up. so thats 1st order of business. I know it last ran in feb or march of this year.
My friends Adam and Dan were very gracious to pick this up for me, last minute, on their way from barber. (it did not come from there though).
This was one i always wanted after i rode one a few years ago, and im super pumped about it.
( you can see MSR's 73 350 in the background here)
and the most supportive wife in the world, was also pretty excited about it.
