I don't have any pics to post but i bought an 84 with a title and 85 without for $900 :good2: basically need battery for 84 and that's it the 85 came with mod carb, supertrapp exhaust and custom wiring for break light (off on and break applied ) will post again once on road but was wondering if anyone has any tips on any issues i should look for when i had it running it was running hot and popping i know that has to do with it running lean so i backed out the mixture screw but sadly my battery gave out and haven't been able to see if it fixed the problem but any advice or tips would be appreciated
Thanks Kody, Orlando FL
P.S plans for the 85 is to use all parts possible and then drop the engine into a hard tail frame V.I.N number comes up as not stolen and not registered for almost 20years guy i got it from said his friend (who's name was last registered too) left it at his house and he hasn't see or heard from him in almost 15years

please start using punctuation and capitalization otherwise if you post something more than one line it will be difficult to read because your subjects will run together and people will get confused trying to read what your talking about and some will get too frustrated trying to figure it out and just give up and start ignoring the post that will result in less help you will be better off using proper english punctuation and capitaization to get your message across and get any help for your post its nice to use complete sentences also for clarification.
See what I mean?

Just a guess, based on my impression that you are a tad OCD David R., that was not easy to actually type, was it?

Simple stuff if you take the proper approach. Type up entire reply, a few healthy shots of your choice of liquid courage, then go back and delete all punctuation.....

What part of Orlando?
I'm working out of three houses right now, but my bikes, tools & toys are on the south side, near Orange Avenue and Gatlin Street. Residence is in the Apopka/Lockhart area in the north west side off of Clarcona-Ocoee Road.
I'll send you my phone # in a PM. I may have a battery for you.
