<p>Decided to just clean the bike and leave it as is. For being over 38 years old it is in fairly good shape. Would like to keep it somewhat original.</p><p>Started fixing the crappy repairs that were done by the past owner, put in a better pair of brake shoes, removed american thread hardware. Cleaned rim and swingarm. </p>

Sent previous owner (not the original owner) a self addressed stamped envelope for the title. He sent it to me which was a good thing. It was not notarized but at least I have it. Somewhere somone will be able to transfer it...?

Was looking for a new throttle cable, but I found that the original was in working condition, not great, but working.. Cleaned up points and it started right up! Linked up a new chain and put that on. Started it and drove it up the driveway, it then lost power.... I think the points and condensore are shot, ordered new ones.

<p>Bought new points and condensor... New points did not fit. Soldered in new condensor and got my spark back. Started it up and not much power. Noticed it was firing back from the carb... Intake valve must be shot... Interesting that it worked well for a short while and then lost its seal... Will get on it soon... </p><p> Ran WD40 down cables. Freed them up nicely. They look old but work well. </p>
