Wow, what a cool deal. This will bump it TTT for others to enjoy.

I think you have a compression or maybe port timing issue. Do have the original piston or is your deal a rebuild ?

Tkx Jerry. Good talking with you. See you a Diamond Don's!!!

That carb is the same as the one on my 81 FXWG....

That's just my luck. I get the ole 74 250 out yesterday and it starts on the second kick.[8D] Thats after putting new gas lines and cleaning the slide. I'm thinking I will email Ron and see if he has any interest in all my stuff again, I'm afraid I might try to ride it again...lol.
Then I look in the for sale section and low and behold he is selling his
stuff. Hey buddy did you flood the market?
Well I'm still going to get all my stuff out and get the dust off and put a list together.
Have a good one

I'm back and you know this is the bike I've been looking for and I want to pay a large finders fee. How bout 10% [}:)].
You have my phone #.

"I did however purchase a Jackpiner from a friend in Katy(TX) for $1600.00, but it was original with a full enduro kit from the factory"

nwwr11cs needs no reply as he knows what his Jack is worth, it may be in his own mind but he knows. [8]

Is this the dude you gave me the Ph# in what you thought at the time
was west Tx. I did call and the rest is history.[)]

Sorry to cause any doubt. Early 73 had the 32mm and I'm sure they work fine. The late mod at transition from 73 to 74 had 35mm with
out fork brace.

Small forks.

I have two bikes in Pa that will need a ride
to East Tx no hurry. Just to give you some input.

What we really need is some retired military guy with a lot of spare Penton parts to start a delivery service and when he shows up with the delivery he can sell us all the parts for the bike to complete it the way we want it. Anyone know anyone like that?

You sneaky rascal. Is that the one you told me about? (175)

Your friend,

I take back the lighter in the garage joke.
Still don't know why you were having fuel on the floor even with the problem you found.
Good Luck,
