So I just picked this thing up a couple weeks ago. First bike for me. Not exactly sure where this is headed but I'm aiming for a tracker style build on it.
Got it running(went through the carbs) and took it for a test ride yesterday. Ran good but then the right cylinder crapped out. Fresh plug in it and it will run for a few minutes then stop sparking. Tried the same thing for three plugs.
I'm interested in putting a newer ignition on it. Any way to get away from points? Do they make something that's CDI based for this bike? Carbs looked good inside and when it would spark it sounded good and ran good as well.
I have a leaky petcock. Any idea where to source orings for it?
Took compression readings cold. 110/115
Compression hot was 100/105
Is that where these motors should be or is this tired and in need of a fresh top end?
