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
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
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
@arcudos im rebuilding mine too! check ebay, thats where i bought my manual. what are you doing to rebuild your bike?

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.
