78 auto
« on: May 26, 2024, 04:47:30 AM »
Hello all, just signed up, I'm a life long biker 66 years old and living in IA. I picked up a 78 750auto that came with another bike that I was interested in, the bike has 26xxx on it and seems it will run with a tank flush and carb clean, I'm not sure if I am going to try it or move it on. I'll keep you folks updated with what I do.

Wow! A completely unmolested 78A!
That's a beauty. :)
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
