[QUOTE="philc, post: 71844, member: 1632"] As for mileage, I have to believe that 59k is the actual mileage, its no show winner but I would think that many more parts, fasteners, bearings would be totally shot at 159k. There isnt very much rust either, but it spent its first years in the Antelope Valley. I did do a valve adjustment some months ago, not to brag but I have adjusted alot of different bike valves, both shim under bucket and screw type adj. so I feel confident that I got it right. Of course there is always room for "stand back I know what I am doing" -itus to effect my performing the valve adj. :thank_you: The engine was VERY cold, 27-30 degrees F I did my best to hold the throttle wide open, maybe I failed to do that so I will mechanically (zip tie it open?) fix it open next time. i read somewhere that a warm engine brings compression DOWN? so I did it cold, late one night. If its true that running hours brings the compression up then I will probably replace the original coils, wires and battery before firing it up for some lengthy road runs. Its impossible for me to say if it sat for any length of time. thanks again people phil [/QUOTE]
