Well I got a new scoot.

Well its new to me anyway.. I traded my dune buggy and a 55 Ford F100 for a 1979 HD FXEF Shovelhead. It had dual plug heads, and came with a SU Carb Setup. Not so sure about that. It will need to tlc. I have been cleaning and fixing small stuff all day. The first problem I found was i had a fuel leak at the carb. Could not see where it was coming from then noticed that there was no hose clamp on the fuel line...

I had a leak from the case to the rocker arm covers. Made a new one from some 3/16 steel line. Worked, will order the right one later this week. The starter did not work. Found that the starter relay is bad. I can start it by kicking or by shorting the starter selnoid. Will get a new relay and that should take care to that.

Here are a few pictures of the scoot. What ya think....
