Hey guys, New member, look at my pictures. I just picked up, what appears to be, a 1973 AT3. The frame and motor # AT1-219394. It runs but not very good. It has a new battery in it and starts easy, but it is a bit of a bogger, and so I am going to start this project by cleaning the carb and replacing the points and condenser / plug. Here's the deal, I will get a book but don't have one now. Question, I have two different plugs in this thing, it's hooked up to a NGK B8ES and the spare is a W24ES-U ( not sure of what brand this is). So, is either of these the correct plug for the bike? Does this look like the original carb Mikuni - what would be the basic start point for the two screws in the side, how many turns out from closed? The bikes in nice shape but dirty, chrome is good after wiping off, seat is trashed (where can I get new foam), Electricals work, baffles in pipe, brakes are shot and cables need replacing, hi/lo works, tank is almost clean, doesn't appear to leak anything. Shifts nice Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am not a mechanic, but I went through the restoration from hell with my T500 and this one looks to be baby stuff compared to that,, thanks
