Gary,
I'll never live down the Ontario rally.....will I? :-) I promised...next
time we get together I'll be buying.
Not sure what rallies are on the agenda. Depends where I am I suppose. If I
stay the summer in North GA I will attend anything within a couple hundred
miles. Of course the National is in my heart but not on my time table. A job
kills one's ability to take off whenever.
I thought you were coming to the southeast? Always a spare bed and room in
the garage for any Looper that needs it. Heck I'll even throw in a steak and
beers as part of the deal.
Required Loop content: I'm still looking at my wounded 70 Ambo. Haven't had
time to deal with the bent intake push rod. Will plan on it this weekend
since I will finally have some time. Anyone ever experienced a bent push rod
before? I still can't figure out what caused it.
Cheers....Y'all...

My Ambo I had was July 69 and a 750. I think the 750 started with the
13xxx serial numbers. According to Greg Fields book, the 13xxx was the
first series to get the bigger tank and the concentric carbs.750cc, but ithelps.

I think the carbs are different than my Eldo has as well.productionfind serial numbers/production runs?
Would any of you hesitate purchasing one this early in thecycle for durability reasons?
Opinions?
