BunnySlippers Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 This is my 78 B210 Purchased it earlier this year for $400, rebuilt the carb and it ran. Adjusted the electronic choke, and it fires right up now. Got some work done on it recently. Checked the compression, adjusted the valves and rechecked the compression. Much better results the second go around. Especially on #3 cylinder! New spark plugs, wires, cap rotor, air filter, and ignition pick up. It ran a lot stronger after all that. Now I just need to get the carb adjusted a touch better. I'm pretty sure I have a vacuum leak though. It doesn't immediately idle down after letting off the throttle. Nothing mechanical is sticking. So I'll be checking for leaks later in the week. Next on the list is new wheel cylinders, rebuilding the calipers, new brake hoses, carb choke pull off, and rear shocks. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I like these more and more every time I see them. I'm sure I'll end up owning one once I thin out my collection a little ^_^ Nice Bee ;) Quote Link to comment

BunnySlippers Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thanks. I've got to trace down a vacuum leak and then the engine should be all set. Then it's onto rebuilding the brakes. Quote Link to comment
