Yes sir!  Working on our dirt bikes!  I think mine is pretty close… but there is something wrong with Audrey’s rig.,  I think it’s something in the timing and or advance… I took it all apart.  Looks like the springs on the advance thing are worn out??  I took mine apart and the springs were taunt hers had slop?

you Give it throttle, and it bogs, like no advance..  you can go on and off the throttle and work it through it…  but sucks..  kinda like a bad acc pump on our VW?

Time to give Travis a quick call ? Bet he has just what you need to get that rig back in action.

Your right., I think I will do just that today!! 😎  I feel like I should be able to figure out this little dirt bike.. 😎  I could swap parts back and forth with mine to trouble shoot it…. 😎  Franz or Ben would already have it fixed for me… 😎

Put a timing light on it, see where the base timing is. Sounds like advance is not working or the jetting is off. One other thing could be the timing chain is a tooth out, or just plain wore out and the tensioner is not doing it’s job. Unlikely if the engine has never been apart, but on a fourty  year old bike, you never know. I’m sure Travis can figure it out in about five minutes. 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Hauled it out to newbolds..  he said carb…  so I came back and took it apart again, this time running tiny reamers into alll the holes.  I think the holes on the side of the emulsion tubes were plugged.

RTR!!!

I agree that Dove Blue looks good on non-VWs as well. I painted this one last year for my brother.
