    Well. Fixing it is the plan. I've got an itch to ride and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to scratch it with the husky. Least before Christmas

    Thats a great starting point. Give it a proper cleaning, new seat cover & grips, clean the carb & airfilter (maybe get a new air filter if it needs it). Clean & lube the chain, new spark plug, and see how she goes.

    Alright guys I've got it running again. But I'm curious about the radiator cap. It's got a 13lb cap on it. Is that right? I'm just trying to cover all my bases. Tia

    ill run out and check some of my caps when i get home today..sometimes if they heat up, bad things happen or or its not the cap at fault. these engines dont really have a tendency to boil or anything tho.

    Ok thanks. I'm just being paranoid, mostly because I don't wanna kill the bike. But that's good info

    in that case..there are some things to check..
    flush coolant and replace with premixed coolant or distilled water/coolant. the magnesium likes to corrode. any signs of water in the transmission oil?
    any play in the right side of crank? remove ignition cover and try moving flywheel straight up/down to check main bearing play.
    the swinger pivot bearings dry out and crack the swingarm, also if there is looseness of the nut isnt tight, the play will develop in the engine case bushing there...bad..might already be loose there.

    Hey I've been researching carb stuff. I have a 38mm mikuni with 410 main 40 idle 3rd clip on needle 2.5 slide. Is that good bad or indifferent?
