Well I got a lot done on it today. put some new brake lines on, new brake hose on the rear, bled the brakes, but it has a weird pedal, it will pump up and hold good, but will not stay pumped. I think the brakes are out of adjustment, if it needs a M/C, I have a new 1 I can put in. whoever redid the exhaust was an idiot and I fixed that.. they used a Ford type muffler, that has the bracket that attaches to the rubber strap, which is ok except it was installed backwards.. the muffler was rusted out at the rear big time ( pipe end was gone ) so whail it was jacked up, I changed it, but to save money I used my home made muffler I built for the Falcon which is like a thrush magnum glasspack w/o the fiberglass. I might have to change it, cause it don't muffle much at all.. it really rumbles tho. I have a Thrush turbo I could replace it with.. going to order a new carb float and put the kit in it, tinkering w/ it the way it is, is just a waste of timeYou don't know what you've got til it's gone
