As you will find, there's very few "bolt-ons fixes" that will work. All require lots of labour-of-love, hours and hours of scrubbing, cleaning, cutting and welding. Shops are the worse as yutes working there that have no experience with anything older than 5-year old bikes. They don't even know what carburetors are, much less know how to work on one. It's like bringing in an 8-track or cassette tape and asking them to put it on your phone. They have no clue where to even start. They'll ask you things like, " I can't find USB port on this tape?".

That’s a shame. I’m going to take it apart and clean i up tonight and see if that helps. The gas tank was very rusty when I got it and i’ve since cleaned it out as much as i could with vinegar.
