Oh well one leak so far, looks like rear main engine seal as the
flywheel gear is wet and oil is dripping.
From here I have to learn how to ride the beast, double leading shoe
front brakes and drum rear are a far cry from my Brembo's.
I got some tuning as the carbs and timing are set to my ear.
Might take it over to Moto Int and have them run through it.
It is a looker and I may put it up on Ebay as it is more complete with
many new parts than when it was restored @cycle garden.
The whole thing has 1000 miles since restored and sat for three years in
a museum.

I just finished restoring a restored 73 Eldorado. It runs, thats the good news. When I rebuilt the petcocks I forgot which way was on and which way was off and reserve. Played hell getting it started and then it kept dying until I got one on. OK some advice. Jeez this is fast. I have a 2001 V11 sport and this Eldorado is a beast! At least no leaks yet!
