hi Cuz!!
yeah, i know, but i was just messin' around with it, and sure was surprised
about it being that stuck. they started the new shop today, so i am gonna
wait till it's done [2 weeks or so], and do the job in much better
surroundings. [no more leaking, creaking, leaning, drafty 'ol barn! woohoo!]

Andy...hard to tell what it is but if I was you (sitting on the porch sippin
Batts with your canadian cousin) I would pull the engine and inspect before
I did anything. More than likely the cylinders will need replacing and
bearings etc...should be inspected. You can do this easily enough.

Ciao...Ian

hi gang!
finally got around to messin' with the 'new' V-700, and
discovered that the
engine is set up. this bike only has 01539 miles on it but has been parked
since 1972. i dumped some atf down the spark plug holes, to no avail. next
step- fill the engine with kerosene thru the head oil returns. what do ya
reckon is froze up? normally, if one of these chrome-bore babys
sits around
for awhile, the chrome flakes away from the bore, and rides up
and down with
the pistons, ya know? maybe a main bearing? why? why does it seem like i
have been here before? :>O
your comments/idears are appreciated. thank you, thank you.
[hat off, and
in hand].
andy
