<VV> advice for what to tune up....

[Dennis Pleau]

I'm guessing the 4a draw is through the non functioning generator or
regulator.

OK,

So I did some basic maintenance this weekend.


   - Found I have a 4 amp draw on the large positive cable with the key in
   lock.  Bad Starter or Coil? Installed a Quick Disconnect so I don't drain
   the battery again. Starts fine on a good charged battery.
   - Discovered the generator has no output, or not enough to overcome the 4
   amp draw.
   - Found a sticky throttle plate linkage, cleaned and lubricated that.

Hoping to meet someone in the Seattle area that would be willing to help me
get her running smooth.

Thanks for the advice, I did order a carb rebuild kit. That will be next
weekend.
