[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 418529, member: 3278"] [size=5]Well, first off its not a "lightning", its a LIghtwin. Second, with a good barn find like that chances are you will need to change out the coils and condensers bare minimum. Water pump impeller will need to be changed out due to age. The engine will need to be run on no less than a 24:1 mixture, probably after purchasing an OEM rebuild kit for the carb. The OEM kit will have the float. Your old float will be cork and probably shot. Gear oil change should happen as well. They are excellent running engines and you can idle them down to almost nothing. Quiet and smooth compared to today's single cylinder competitors. [/size] [/QUOTE]
