Another one back to life!
I got my 85 gs running last night. It has been sitting dormant for over 3 years ( I got it from a friend last winter, and haven't been able to do much). Looks like some mice were using the exhaust as a home at one point in time, as a ton of cotton stuffing blew out when it finally fired. Didn't run too great, as the carb is probably toast. Now the fun begins. I'm probably gonna rebuild the engine. It has 170,000 miles on it, so it's probably due. Hopefully the housings are ok, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
project has just begun...
