Posted June 29, 201014 yr Well, I've only had her idling but she idles at 1150 rpm like a champ. No needle jumping or anything. Smooth throttle and smooth runing engines, unlike when I first picked her up. I won't know if she's really good to go without a few test rides, but at this point it's working great. I do need to buy a new throttle cable though, any ideas on what size type I need and whether I can purchase it from MikesXS, as I'm going to purchase braided brake lines and a new Front master cylinder, one of the newer types. Thanks everyone for their help, especially Master Drewpy. Not going to celebrate too early though, but again, thanks everyone for your help so far.
June 30, 201014 yr Author Took her out for a ride today and she runs flawlessly, all of the problems before are gone. I'll post a pic of the finished product next week when I get the last bit of aesthetic work in and put on. Thanks again.
July 15, 201014 yr Author Well, this is what the old girl looks like at the moment, she could do with a bit of polishing but I think she's coming together quite well. Thanks again everyone, for all the help you've given thus far.
July 15, 201014 yr damn looks realllllly good. Looks pretty good! I dunno mikesxs may work but I've used Motion Pro cables: Search by your model here I can recommend for an engine polishing: some wet-sanding any major scratches/very oxidized spots on engine, and then working at it with an aluminum polishing kit. getting between the fins is hard though... I ordered a 'razor' buff from them for that purpose and will try it out this weekend.
