Hi Darin, I haven’t ridden the bike, but it was running when I bought it. The engine wasn’t running very well and the carbs had a leak, hence the carb strip. It’s now running much better and idles pretty good, but number one header takes quite a while to get hot. What’s Acetone and atf mixture. I’m from the UK, we probably have another name for it.
