Started off as a standard '71 k3 that was found packed in the back of a Northern Illinois / Indiana garage.
Drove 14 hours round trip when I first got my learners permit, to pick it up.
Loaded up.
Making the 7 hour trip back home.
I bought it being told all it needed was a battery- but she sat for a good year without being touched.
So the usual, Charged the at least 8 year old battery- date marked 2003
Cleaned and gaped the plugs, and emptied the gas tank.
I honestly didn't bother with the points, coil or carbs. My only concern is would she some what run..
Started 3rd kick with out choking. After a super huge grin, and riding around the block until I worried about the cops.
(Not tagged, or insured- and I don't even have my motorcycle permit yet)
Tearing her down
