Scott, if you haven't torqued the heads a few times since you started up do
it! I do it once after the first run around the block, once after the first
50 miles, again 500 miles later, you will see, that each time the torque is
way off, the gaskets compress severely, must be done religously.
 
Hello loopers,

I replaced the coil in my 69 Ambo, and the bikes runs great but still dies
when hot. Seems to be only when its idling. Now I am suspecting the carbs.
Maybe the heads need to be retorqued?
