Not a bad idea to pull the starter and groom the whole shift mechanism. Make sure it doesn't hit the *porkchop* on the downstroke. The double hose bracket was there for the complex tank vapor/ charcoal canister system. If you unbolt the bracket from the back of the gearbox, be ready for gear oil to stream out. Yup, one of those "Don't ask me how I know" things.

I think I've bought three or four of those. Currently, I have my broken "Lever" tucked to the inside of the fasteners. How about one of you clever, capable chaps shape this piece up out of something equally beautiful but permanently robust? Paint it green. Zinc chromate, even. We're rabid for anything green . . .

I know . . . I know! Let's ask the other inmates on the ward about crazy . . . . -
I would be performing the Decent Tune-up.

Good points. After, years of use, it's probably a good time to do a thorough inspection on mine. Is there a recommended procedure to fill the cylinder?

So..... now how does the CO come up?

What I do not see in your To-Do List: > Baseline the TPS > Check/ zero the CO Fuel Trim > Balance the throttle bodies > Test/ install a fully charged, correct, battery

Yes. Turns. Is there a knob on the left?

Haha - true that! Like me, I guess . . .

'tacos? Montessa? Gas-Gas? All good!

You sure know how to have a good time, buddy!

Trip odo reset should offer you a tiny knurled knob on the left side of the speedo. Reverse threaded, it is rotated CCW to roll the trip odometer. If it's missing, shine a light in the hole there and see if there are some bare male threads to latch onto. Does the trip odometer turn with the miles?

Good point! i have recently seen an '02 LeMans hang its throttle rod on the speedometer drive below the right throttle body.

The idle should be higher than 1000 rpm (the manual says 1050, but I prefer a bit higher). The idle is set by performing the tuning sequence. A basic procedure is posted here: Decent Tune-up

This business of sneaking in Bultacos is highly circumspect on the other hand.

No one here cares about old cars... Oh, you must go to the "Cars . . ." thread. Otherwise, you could start your own "Identify This Car By Only the Front Corner" thread . . .

Too be fair you are rockin' the beer holder. Right? I'm thinking reinstalling it while my fancy electronic replacements go back-and-forth to Utah . . . I'm with Scud on liking the all silver on the early bikes, but to each his own. They all look great to me!

You owe a guy named *Chopper* forty-eight-hundred bucks? Really hoping to hear back from you next week, buddy! -
Should you posting something yellow in the "Cars . . . " thread?
-
There is just something so right about that . . .

I'm jealous. You guys are gettin' under my skin with all the gorgeous cockpits.
