Paul, do you know if perhaps that '235567' number on the case can be referenced to a build date ?

Atmospheric intake

Hopefully you drained the fuel...

One of the many fine attributes of the airhead. Add some Stabil, close the petcock, drop the bowl on the carb and you're good for the off-season.

Damn I love opposed German jugs.

Run the fuel out of the bings with a motor with petcock closed. The jets will be clean for next file flush. Remove the ground wire screw and walk away.

simple by design.

how is this different than practically every other aircooled motorcycle manufactured prior to oh say 1985 or so?

They're out there where they can get knocked off with the jugs in a crash.

Much handier!

Nice. I was given a TZ250 about three years ago, Muzz had mentioned it a couple of times. He came in, said he wanted me to have it.... then he died a week later. I didn't pursue it... the last thing his widow needed was people ratting through his stuff.

About a year ago my sister turned up on a wannabe Indian, a hyosomething. Yesterday she arrived on a Chief.
I thought a Scout was your aspiration says I..
It's massive, she's not.

You can drop the float bowls with nothing more than a swiss army knife.....

Try that with an Amal eccentric.

How often do you need to drop float bowls unless you run dodgy petrol? And - on my Commando, as well as a Bonneville, I could have the whole manifold(s) & carb(s) off in 30 minutes. My 650 Tiger (just one carb) was 20 minutes.

Of course these were all eccentric concentric Amals...

I got pretty good at synchronising the throttle slides with ice cream sticks on my Commando.
