[QUOTE="KROSOVA, post: 1298936, member: 93571"] I had gotten this bike from a older guy who had it since 72. He maintained it very well it ran good for about 2 months after i got it for $500. One day was riding and it backfired and bogged down and i had to kick the hell outta it a few times it started, ran like ****, but got me back down the road to where my car was. It never started again. That was about 3 years ago. It sat in a shed collected some rust lost some parts now i want to restore it. It still has some compression which amazes me. I told that and the way it broke down to an old biker and he said it sounded like it slipped time since it backfired the way it did then started again. Im not the best bike mech but I know the basics and can follow directions very good. My first Q is how do i change timing? And is it a magneto with a flywheel or stator plater Or what? My second Q is what can i do about rust in the gas tank? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I LOVED THIS OLD BIKE!!! :laugh: [/QUOTE]
