hi gang!
finally got around to messin' with the 'new' V-700, and discovered that the
engine is set up. this bike only has 01539 miles on it but has been parked
since 1972. i dumped some atf down the spark plug holes, to no avail. next
step- fill the engine with kerosene thru the head oil returns. what do ya
reckon is froze up? normally, if one of these chrome-bore babys sits around
for awhile, the chrome flakes away from the bore, and rides up and down with
the pistons, ya know? maybe a main bearing? why? why does it seem like i
have been here before? :>O
your comments/idears are appreciated. thank you, thank you. [hat off, and
in hand].
