Wish he was closer, Knoxville is a bit too far for an afternoon run.

What's the issue he's dealing with....besides the w/s.
An afterthought, you might check out the
www.ngwclub.com and ask that same question. Like the VRCC, they have riders/mechanics all over the place. Those guys that have the oldies are passionate about getting them up and running, traveling all over the continent with them.
I think it's carb issues from sitting too long. He also mentioned that the last time he had it running, the bike would lurch forward and stall when he put it in gear, even with the clutch pulled in. He said he thoroughly bled the clutch hydraulics to no avail. I think his clutch disks have stuck together from lack of use, and he needs to either jolt them free or pull the clutch and pry the disks apart.
I'll send him the link to the ngw club so he can ask the question there himself. I'd rather not have to be a go-between in perpetuity.
