I remember my dad used to own a similar bike to this one about 25 years ago and he had a starting problem with it once.He was in a competition on his bike and he fell off not far from the finish of the event and could he get it to start??? Could he heck!!!!! It was about 5 mins before he could get it going again and it cost him a victory in his class for that particular event.He ended up 9th
check the intake manifolds!!!, i have replaced 2 on mine!!, they seperate at the metal,in the back by the head!!, pull on the carbs to see if it separates or take carbs off and check it
i had to fix mine as well, i bought a brand new one ,and it seperated from the aluminum as well as the original one did, i used jb weld it still works but pisses me off
Does anyone have a Service Manual for this beauty ?
I'm in the process of restoring mine and need some help !

Oh man JB weld isnt the way to go. You want instant adhesive and the right stuff. "The right stuff" is the name of the product. ahaha.
